Hawaii Part 2
Right now I am sitting in the "library" of the Aston Kaunappauli Villas 4:08 AM Hawaii time. For the past two days I've had to get up at 1:30 AM Hawaii time, grab our 2 laptops, big box 1 which has our Tie-Line and mic stands in it and big box 2 which has the rest of the crap we need to broadcast such as microphones, headphones, speakers, etc. lug it all out to the car and drive it over to the Villas here which is about a 7 minute drive from our hotel. It takes about 20 minutes to set up everything including our webcam and then we just hang out as Kerry, Bill and Gena do their show. We're almost half way through today and then we only have to do this one more time on Monday morning. It's really not that bad though, we go to sleep about 11 or Midnight, sleep a couple hours, get up and do the show, then get back to our hotel by about 7:30 and sleep until 11 or noon. It almost feels like we never sleep since we're up late, stay up all night, then still get a full day in. Well worth the free trip to Hawaii.
As for the plans for today we are going to try to get on a catermaran to a place called Moulokai and go snorkeling. According to what I have been reading on the internet Moulokai is rated one of the best places in the world to go snorkeling. Apparently there are not only fish, but dolphins, sea turtles and giant crabs. Hopefully we can get on a tour that leaves around noon or later and serves a lunch or dinner while you snorkel. I've been talking a lot with the guy that runs the front desk overnight at the hotel and he's given us a bunch of tips on secret beaches, good places to snorkel free and other stuff to do that most people don't know about. One thing he did do is scare me. I've never been afraid of sharks but when we were talking about good places to snorkel off the beach he made some comment like "of course you want to make sure to keep an eye out for sharks" to which I asked if that was really a problem or not. He said that it's not uncommon for people to see sharks when their snorkeling in some of the less touristy areas. Apparently the sharks tend to stay away to the really populated areas such as Moulakai but are pretty common in the less populated areas. He also said one of his best friends was just killed about 9 months ago when he got his leg ripped off and bled to death while surfing. Anyway, now I'm a little more hesitant about just going out wherever like I was planning to do, either way it's not common for people to get attacked, so oh well.
Ok, well I'll write a little more later when I'm not about to fall asleep behind the keyboard.
Aloha <-- Sorry you just have to do it when your in Hawaii!
