Traffic isn't bad, either, now that they finally finished the bike path on Hwy. 311.
Hmmmm...I guess I have been unlucky on the wind issue and I have left Wailea at first light Construction in Hawaii is a very interesting process....seems positively sublime that a project that takes at most a year elsewhere can take nearly a decade in Hawaii
