Third time's (not) the Charm!

So Hanauma Bay is the top-rated snorkeling in Hawaii. Perhaps even the world. We knew this before coming. So we first attempted to check it out on Tuesday, but they're closed on Tuesday (important detail to know). Then we attempted again yesterday. They were very crowded and when they reach a certain number of people, they don't let any more people in (good to know as well). So on our final attempt, the beach was closed due to a pack of angry jellyfish. There were at least 39 jellyfish on the beach, meaning that we definitely do not want to be in the water. We do thank the Park Rangers. We also met BJ, a really nice lady who runs the snorkel renting place on the beach. Got quite a bit of useful information from her. The most helpful information, however, was from Fred. Fred told us how we could obtain a special "permit" that will, essentially, make us VIPs when we return in June.

So even though we didn't get to snorkel, it was productive. (and we saved $25!!!)

So back to the hotel room to pack. And now that we have some extra time, we'll have time to stop by Da Kine Bail Bonds and perhaps meet Dog the Bounty Hunter. I'll let you know how that goes...
