Kauai is the one (major) island I haven’t made it too. I need to get there. Several waterfall hikes I really wanted to get to there. Next trip will likely be mostly Kauai with a few night back on Maui since there’s more I want to do there. Maybe a night on the Big Island if the lava’s going

I'm sure you have already checked out some things to do and places to see, but when the time comes let me know. I have our whole schedule and places we ate at, things we did, etc. saved somewhere.

Awesome, will do. I planned almost all of our trips out of the “Revealed” guidebook series.

Maui is the island that I've not been to. Want to get back and see it, but the wife's being a stick in the mud.

She’s afraid of flying right?

Maui is awesome too. And so is Maui Brewing's main place.

Ok as long as you’re not used to rivers and lakes

I feel that. I'm getting pretty annoyed with flying myself. Not that I'm afraid...its just the whole driving to the airport, paying to park, shuttle or long walk to terminal, waiting in tsa line, taking off your shoes and taking out your tablet, getting your junk scanned, waiting at the gate for an hour plus...longer if your flights delayed, sitting next to a jackass, waiting to get off the plane, rinse and repeat if you have a layover, waiting for your bags, renting a car or waiting for a shuttle. Shits exhausting.

Yes, flying is exhausting. But think how exhausted you’d be driving a long distance, unless you had a month off.

Oh it's necessary... but exhausting none the less.

I don’t even think flying is exhausting..aside from the parking, check in and security stuff you’re mostly just sitting. In 2002 I drove to Bozeman MT and drove back in 2004. After those drives I’m not driving any farther than maybe like New England or the middle part of the south or westward maybe Ohio.  Anywhere else flying.

Given how it used to be, it's horribly exhausting anymore.

Since the wife doesn't want to fly, we drove to the Keys and New Orleans.
If you break up the drive, it's not all that bad and you get to see a lot more of the country than if you fly, but you have to be willing to put in that time.

I didn’t fly for many years, just couldn’t afford it when the kids were home. Started flying couple times a year in 2013. No flying at all since Nov 2019 due to pandemic, but will definitely fly to Atlanta for Thanksgiving and trip in the works to Montana in March.

TFTI!

What bothered me most about flying is the lack of control you have, especially once you get on the plane. Do what you are told and smile while doing it.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

The stretch from February of 2020 to April of 2021 was my longest stretch without flying since I was in high school.  Between junior year in college and the year after I graduated I flew the most.  I flew to LA for cousins Bar Mitzvah, London with my mom, Paris with an ex, Gunnison, Jackson Hole, Durango, Denver with my geology class and even a Burlington VT to Newark NJ flight for an interview.  Bananas.

Vaseline and let it sit for 3 days, seemed to do the trick for the most part.

Kyle did you hit something.  I don’t quite get it.

Likely road paint...same thing happened to my old jeep except worse since my tires flung it all over the drivers side
