Global warming and Hawaii

So we all know about the effects of global warming...right? Strong storms, melting ice and more freaky weather than you can shake a stick at. So it should not come as any suprise that Hawaii is having its share of wierd weather (which at the time of this writing should be passed). Here are a few things that have happened in Hawaii in the last 60 days...

1. About a month ago a 100 year old dam on Kauai broke, killing a few unlucky folks and flooding a small town.

2. Kauai also (this week) received 92 inches of rain. That's right 92 inches!

3. Storm runoff flooded the city of Honolulu's sewer system, dumping raw sewage (ew) into the Ala Wai canal. The canal runs to the ocean in the middle of Waikiki beach....so the city has posted signs reminding tourists and locals to stay out of the water.

4. Most of the airlines have discounted tickets, both interisland and from the mainland. Who says global warming is bad.

The interisland flight discounts are a sort of fare war, as a new interisland airline has stepped into themix with SouthWest airlines type fares. Go! airlines, part of the Mesa air group is now offering 39 dollar interisland fares....all the time. The flights dont go until June 9th, but you can still get these tickets now and on the cheap. Here is the link to the site,

Sure beats paying 78 dollars a flight. This has nothing to do with the weather and doesn't effect your trip before June but...some of the hotels are a bit nervous at the moment. Seems that the sun hasnt been out much so the hotels are offering deals, deals, deals.

http://hotels-in-honolulu.com offers great Honolulu hotels, and does offer hotels throughout the islands with discounted, pre-negotiated rates. If you are thinking of heading on over to Hawaii now is the time to go, as everything is now on the cheap.
