Finally done with my diving... Had a total of 19 dives this past three weeks. 13 boat dives, 1 beach dive, and the five confined water dives for the OWD certification. Now I am an Advanced Open Water Diver and unhappy to fly back home. Would love to continue diving tomorrow...
Anyways, this is my last night here in Honolulu, tomorrow the trip back begins... It only takes two days to finally reach home...

Funny thing happened today...
I decided to take a rental-car here in San Francisco to do some shopping but had no reservation, since there are so many... Anyways, when I showed up at the counter they told me they don't have any left... But then the girl behind the counter saw my two rings, and I was wearing Raiders stuff... Guess what... I've got a convertible with a real cheap rate, the cheapest they've had...

In any case, I just stumbled on this thread, and wanted to congratulate Iceman for his excellent trip to Hawaii. I grew up in Honolulu, but left the islands over 12 years ago -- I guess I've lost my local accent, as when I go back now, people ask me where I'm from. I love it when I answer "Manoa" and see the confused expressions. It's always nice to go back, but I have to say, driving in Hawaii is awfully frustrating -- I don't know how I did it back then. Is the speed limit on H1, at least near Honolulu, still 50 mph? If you think people are left-lane bandits on the east coast, they're at least 10x worse in Hawaii ... most people seem to travel at 45-50 mph in the left lane -- try doing that on the Long Island Expressway or the Jersey turnpike when there's no traffic and you'll have cars literally flying past you at 75-85 mph.
Anyway, I'm hoping to make a trip back to Honolulu sometime this coming spring. Maybe I'll get to meet Alohalc myself!
