Some news from the home state!A new ferry between O'ahu, Maui and Kaua'i launched 2 days ahead of schedule after the state Supreme Court ruled that the company operating the boat should carry out an environmental assessment. But, the ruling didn't specifically say the ship couldn't begin running, so...they went for it.This is a tough one. I bet taking a ferry would be really pretty, and taking your car would be a nice convenience rather than having to rent one on the other island. But if it's bad for the environment or the marine animals, then of course I would stick to flying.Plus, after the $5 promotional fares end...$240 is a lot for a person and a car, especially when inter-island airfare is about $80 round-trip!(By the way, aole is a hawaiian word that translates as no way or never.)
