All depends on when you go, and where you are on a given island. In February, the hottest days were maybe in the low-80s, and nowhere near as humid as the south/midwest can get. One day, the high temperature peaked out in the upper 60s, and a Kauai local (in a jacket!) apologized to us for how cold it was. I (in shorts) told her it was around +5 in Chicago that day.

Generally, the south/west sides of the islands are hotter and drier. So, if you want to stay cool, stay on the north side of an island.

She is a tiny person. I once walked past her at Horton Plaza in San Diego, and all I could think was, "That's Diane Keaton, and I've seen her naked. Eww."

Have you met my fiance, fiance?
In other news, there was a woman arrested for shop-lifting over the weekend whose name was "Customer." Created much unintended fun and confusion on the police radio channel.

Yup, that's it. I have a few pics posted on :rolleyes:book in my Hawai'i set from there too. Amazing.

Hmm, that doesn't sound bad at all.

Canuck and I like heat and humidity so we're the wrong folks to ask, but I found it very, very tolerable. Even went hiking on the Na Pali trail one day (until the Canuck stepped in a giant mud puddle that went up to her thigh. :D)

If you head up to Waimea Canyon (3,500ft at teh lookout), it's in the upper 70's with a nice breeze that funnels through the canyon.

And here's a view (not the best view, but I don't have a lot of my Hawaii pics on Teh Flickr):

On the way up to Waimea Canyon, I discovered water on Mars:

IE 5.5 wasn't much to write home about either.

I spent 5 years in Upstate NY and have yet to thaw out (despite not having lived up there for 7 years...)

I grew up on the coast in the south east where the air is as thick as the sausage gravy. Heat and humidity have never bothered me. Honestly don't think I've ever once complained it was too hot.

Sub 65 though and I get angry. :rolleyes:

IE 8 is actually fairly reasonable with being standards compliant.

This is true. It is, however, old enough that I don't care about anyone using it.

Buenos :rolleyes:. I see you managed to convince your FlugKapitan to take the scenic route to FRA.

Hey, did you already get tickets for the beer festival or would you like me to get two for you and you can hit me back at the event?
