Oahu Superferry Voyage

We booked some tickets on the Superferry today (http://hawaiisuperferry.com). Don't tell anyone here on Kauai because nobody is too happy about it. Lots of issues - vagabonds coming to Kauai from Oahu, whales, gasoline, animal/plant intruders, etc.

On the positive side, they were offering $5 fares through Sept. 5th. I can't get any beer here and Em can't get any baby furniture for Gary (that's the nickname of the fetus, Gary Gebhardt, nice ring to it, huh?). Therefore, we're taking the car on the Superferry to load up on swag. Normally this trip costs 450 bucks with the car, but with the promotional fares - 30 bucks! Slight problem, the only days available were Wed, Aug 29th to Oahu and Wed, Sept. 5th back to Kauai. Oddly enough, I have to work some of those days. No problem, we'll shoot back and forth in between on some of the cheap inter-island flights and leave the car in long term parking in Honolulu for a few days (we won't pick up our purchases until the 5th).

Sounds like a hassle, but not too bad considering the prohibitive shipping costs for baby furniture. Like Gary really cares what he/she sleeps in. I told Em she can have free reign on choosing the furniture as long as it fits in the closet under the steps - that's Gary's bedroom. At least that's what I told our real estate agent. Speaking of Gary, don't forget to check out the Countdown to Gary at the bottom of the page.
