Maui North Shore and the prospect of a long journey to the mainland

Packing up my bags... uumph for the xth time (losing a whole day I think for packing and unpacking on this trip). Then I headed off to the north shore, stopped in Paia for lunch and ice cream and watched the surfers (waves and wind) in Ho'okipa Beach Park.

Travel Itinerary today: smooth and short flight from Kahului to Honolulu on Hawaian. Long and uncomfortable red eye on US Air (chair reclines 3 inches, no inflight video screens and no real food served) to Phoenix... hopefully the flight to Dallas will be smooth tomorrow morning.
