So I don't have to post my from out of nowhere thoughts in one of the others.
SUPERFERRY UPDATE!
So the wife and I broke down and superferried our sexy bums over to Maui for the weekend. It all seemed like a good idea; put the top down on the ol' superbuggy and drive around tourist central in something other than a PTSebringStang. We loaded up the car and were on our way. Now, you may remember that I am in the Navy, and have some experience with being on boats. This was effective in delaying my utter loss of all things breakfasty by about an hour over the average traveller. The seas were a might choppy. We arrived, drove off, spent Maui money on standard food, had a good couple of days. THEN: the call came. Superferry is cancelled for Sunday and Monday due to rough weather. Wifey had to go back to work, of course, and the ferry folk were very cooperative. We flew back, the car is still in Maui waiting for a calmer day to travel back home. All in all, if you haven't done it yet, I'd hold off on the ferry until summer. Boat was nice, company worked with us as much as could be expected, but rough ocean and cancelled boats don't work too well when you need to travel.

Imagine having to leave your bike over there for some reason, or another, that was their fault.
So where is the car parked? Are there any parking fees being incurred and, if so, who's paying for them?
Do they put the car on the ferry when the seas get better or do you have to go over to get it? If you have to go do they fly you over or make you ride on the boat again?
If push ever came to shove would they pay for Young Bros. to barge it back?
Why do I have the feeling that someone, somewhere in the super ferry biz is going "Ooops."?

To Mac:
Car is parked in their lot, free. They gave me the option of flying back over on their dime to load the car up again, or designate a trustee to do it for me. I have chosen the latter. I still need to get the form notarized and drop it off at their office here. That's sort of a pain, but I'll get over it.
As for the Volcano Run, let's see if they are still operating come summertime.

Wow, a little bit of rain, and nobody wants to talk. I see how it is, fair-weather chatters! An item for your consideration:
Chew Tobacco
or
Two Chewbaccas?
[cheeky]
Chewin isn't for me. I like my ceeegars.
Hey! There was at least some blue sky in that pic from Haleakala.
