any suggestions for what area to stay at OGG? First trip there later in the year and not sure where to stay. Also hoping to hop to KOA a day or 2, visit kiluea, kona brewing, hit up a coffee plantation, and take a helicopter tour
Kaanapali/Lahaina area ?
Kihei area?
Wailea area?

I figure this snow is Mother nature just giving me one more blast before I head to Europe. I imagine it will be brutally cold hen I head up to FAI to drop my daughter's stuff off as well.

What to do in SEA for a 6 hour layover
Hi all I am going from FAI-SEA-LHR in June and have a 6.5 hour layover in SEA.
My questions are:
Do I get an Alaska BR one day pass or is there anything I can do in SEA for a few hours - Can I leave the airport? And is it worth it as I will have to go back through security etc?
Many Thanks for any advice.

If you can check your luggage all the way through, great. Otherwise, ditch anything heavy at Ken's Baggage on the baggage claim level and walk through the parking structure to catch the Link Light Rail for $2.75. The trains run frequently and it's no more than a 40 minute ride to get downtown, where you can shop, visit the "first" Starbucks and wander through Pike Place Market or pop into the Seattle Art Museum. If you're there on a weekday, I would recommend the Columbia Tower over the Space Needle as it has better views and only costs $5.
Remember to check your flight status before you head back to the airport; occasionally the BA flight is delayed by a few hours which would buy you some more time to play. If you allow an hour each way for transit plus a very generous 90 minutes to re-clear security, that still leaves a solid 3 hours in the city. No reason to stay in the airport when it's so easy to get out and experience some of the Emerald City. June is a great time to visit the Pacific Northwest.

I would not recommend camping out the entire 6 hours in the BR. It's a comfy spot for an hour or two if you have to be there, but 6 hours might make you go batty, and $45 is more than enough to cover transportation and food in the city. Presumably you are on the BA flight leaving at 7 PM, which means you have plenty of daytime hours to check out Seattle.

I'm still not sure when I am leaving, it should be within the next few weeks. I still need to do a get together for dinner or something. This waiting around is wearing me. At this rate, it feels like I'll be taking the summer Condor flight to Frankfurt.
