A traffic tip getting to Manago if you aren't aware yet. We've found the quickest and least stressful way is to take the new-ish (and latest) Kona bypass road which you pick up south of Keauhou, just past the shopping center. Believe it or not, Alii Drive to Keauhou is quickest, as the upper highway gets slow and bumper to bumper quickly. Especially once it goes down to two lanes near Lako Street. And now with so many visitors back, the usual bad Kona traffic is too.
The bypass goes along the oceanfront and ends at the stoplight intersection with Napo'opo'o Rd. The Manago is just a couple of quick blocks on the right past the light.
I swear, the many times on this bypass, there have only been a handful of travelers. Seems so luxurious for the locals, to have yet another multi-million dollar bypass. A subject for another thread of course, why Kona has so many bypass roads and the stepchild Puna has none. !? Still hopeful for a PMAR in my lifetime lol.
