Whoa. Very well thought-out LOL!
It's like a different world than the east side to be sure. I understood though, that there was no real way to do the ferry from Hilo because the waters are more turbulent than the ferry can handle. Is that true?
Should be interesting since the waters in that Molokai Channel are supposed to be super rough as well...but I don't really know the route 'cause they really haven't posted route maps anywhere.
What Rob says about the future of the HSF seems very likely, but just tossing that kinda money into the wind when there's so many other needy places it could go seems real careless on the part of a local government that knows how much it's people are overpriced, underpaid, etc.
P.S. When we do venture over to the West Side it's always fun...but we tend to prefer staying off Alii and would rather snorkel at Kealakekua or Cap't Cook and veg on the beach at Hapuna/ Mauna Kea...I feel lucky it's so close to us, but I've lived in So. Cal. and had my fill of plastic people and tourists. I'm sure there's wonderful people on the West Side - so don't send me hateful emails. I just prefer our side of paradise!
