Well I made it to the airport (HNL – Honolulu International Airport) and you can park a moped here, apparently for free. It was one of the worst decisions I’ve made all day?
Why?
The rain. It didn’t seem like rain in Makiki. Sure the sky was a bit dark to the west, but hey, how bad could it be. Pretty darn bad it seems.
As I drove out Nimitz, using the bike lane as I am allowed to do to pass all traffic at the dawning of the Friday afternoon rush hour, it started to drizzle where I was, then rain. In a mile or so I discovered that it must have been raining pretty hard earlier because the highway was flooded, at least in the lane I was in. Seriously. I must have been driving through 6 inches of water and the trucks passing me were soaking me but good.
In any case I pressed on and here I am at the airport as seen by the camera on my Eee PC.
Anyway, I’m gonna go get some coffee. 🙂 More later.
Aloha!
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
