First I have heard of it, but I am planning and packing, not really paying too much attention... My loss!

I had not heard about it, but I've already got two laptops, so I don't think I would need a third.. (unless it was a mac book air..)

I forgot that you will be there for Christmas. Hopefully it's worth the $140 I payed.. AMEX wanted WAY too many points for a free night

4K Spg+$60 is this better than $140?

TY! Hope you get a car, but walking is easy in Kailua-kona, except on aa.

Go to Splashersand ask Indie if you can borrow the "Burger Buggy"- a '74 VW Thing, now festooned in advertising for their great little restaurant/bar.

Earn miles at Bongo Bens- pretty good food. Rougher crowd upstairs at Lu Lu's, also a mile-earner.

Hunt down Lavaman7 and get a tour of his plantation http://itskona.com

It's a fun island, so enjoy!

It is, but since 850 (going back up to 1000) AMEX points = 333 SPG points, it's a better deal to just pay cash for the room. Plus I'll earn some credit towards my SPG gold (soon Platinum) account..
