Where you guys going to eat? I'll be at Hualalei at that time. Brown's at Fairmont Orchid is quite good -- not familiar with Sheraton food, decent?

Not sure, yet.. I just took a look at the menu, and the food looks pretty good. A bit pricey, but we can figure out where to go once we get some attendees

ha ha, that's right, you probably don't have much cold water experience in SDQ, it's all relative, I grew up swimming in Lake Superior & Lake Michigan as well as water skiing on our lake a month after the ice had melted, before we had wetsuits, whoa that was cold (80 degrees air temp, 50 degree water temp)

The drive between the Sheraton and Fairmont is probably close to an hour?? Kona Brew Pub and Quinn's are two of my local favorites (and on the LA Times list) and right in town. Too bad I will miss you all by a few weeks. Oh well, next time.

Yeah, good ideas!!! Lets give them a try to flying on Alaska Air out of OAK/SJC/SEA-KOA nonstop. You won't have to put on another airlines. Because UA/AA/DL is very expensive the tickets and this is not real specific time at all.

Kona Brew Pub is a MUST, I love the beer and have plan to go there.

I am sure we will meet on one of the DO
