Man that's a long flight from Florida. Expensive too when you have to buy an extra seat for your fat ass.
Big island....is that it or will you be going to Oahu too? Obviously you probably want to go see the volcano (I'm sure there is a helicopter ride, although they seem to have a problem with crashing lately) and waterfalls. If you do go to Oahu, rent a car and go up to north shore. Or get sloppy drunk at Dukes then try to hoof it to the top of diamond head...doesn't look very far after 8 or 9 cocktails.
Go snorkeling anywhere. If you've got the funds catch an inter-island flight and hit Maui to snorkel the Molokini crater. Enjoy the sun, hopefully you miss the typical spring-time turbulence on the flight and rain on the island, was there last year during the NCAA tournament and caught all rain and clouds and enjoyed the most turbulent flight of my life. Have fun.
Its a trip I won for the buisness im in. So pretty cool its all expense paid. Big Island is where the hotel is and in all honesty dont have a clue about Hawaii or where to go. I know youll rip me but is Oahu a drive or a flight away? I got a jeep waiting for me there thinking that would be the coolest ride.
As far as the flight Im stopping in Phoenix for an hour and half in between.
so 4 hours than like 7 to finish. My fat ass will be tight but what the hell ill piss off the people on the side of me.
