A few things, it was a typo I believe. Instead of Runway 9-27 it's really runway 11-29 that is the East-West Runway. Runway 11-29 is 6800 X 150, concrete grooved. Not that short of a runway but it is great to see the planes come in on that one.
I could see some how one would be wary of taking a 737-700 over open water, however it did not bother me at all.
Enjoy your trip to Hawaii!!!
