Island Hoppin’ On Hawaiian Airlines

I don’t get why they don’t allow outside food and drinks in the waiting area… maybe they’re jealous I’m eating a bacon sandwhich.  So anyway, it was a challenge sneaking in my 5 shots of espresso from the egregiously overpriced airport Star Bucks while trying not to get my laptop wet.   What an adventure! 

Darn it, missed my flight….

Anyway, I’ll be out for the entire day eating lunch and shaking hands with a bunch of project engineers.  Apparently the two CEOs I was supposed to travel with won’t be coming so I have no idea what I will be doing.  Oh crap… who’s going to be paying for all my meals and drinks?!

Well, I’ll be back later with more intel on Hawaii’s construction industry.  Today I’ll be visiting Maui and Kona to check up on some condo-hotel projects, so come back later because I’ll probably post a picture of a coconut tree. 

In the meantime, my ride is the one and only Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. [[ha]] … no longer a duopoly, but a straight up monopoly now that Aloha Air is gone.  You might want to consider that as we start to get our tourism back.
