No way to get there..... Have you heard of Hawaiian Airlines?

This does suck though because Aloha and ATA were the only ones that flew direct to Hilo which is the only place I really go in Hawaii (home town). ATA sucked *** as an airline though... Been using Hawaiian since I got a miles card, my tickets for 10 days in May cost me $46 for 2 people.

Wow! That sucks... Guess that's what happens when 2 airlines drop of at once - didn't think of that.

Can't you just delay it by like a month, that way you can get a decent price on a flight and still go to Maui, a month late is better than not going.

We are going to delay it, but its going to have to be by more than a month. We were going now since there is a hole in all of our schedules. I cant go in May since I have to go to Boston for my brothers graduation, plus I dont think we could get the condo we wanted. My Dad can't go in June and I can't go in July. I might not be able to get the days I need until September and even then Im not sure we can make it. It might have to be postponed for a while longer, maybe even until next year. Im a little disappointed since this was supopsed to be a 25th birthday present, and now it will be more like a 25.5th or even 26th birthday present.

Anyhow, you and me and Unit should do something sometime.
