Maybe we should try like the old days and use our double hulled canoes to travel between islands...

But seriously... with skyrocketing prices for neighbor island trips, it's a wonder just how high these prices might go. Is this just a cause and effect of the economy or is this the new "norm" of interisland travel? I think Hawaii's air carriers are in a pretty big jam if they can't break even on their flights. Of course, that's the obvious... but are there real solutions for Aloha and Hawaiian to stay afloat besides raising the cost of tickets? One can only dream about the old days (which was really only a year ago) when one could buy a coupon, phone in a reservation and hop on a plane.

That double hulled canoe isn't sounding too bad right now....

Aloha
