Gosh, we all missed it!!
stuart:
Chas, I was just wondering....did your jet ski experience look something like this? ;D
Dr. Spa™ Ret.:
HEY! That looks just like me, doing a nose stand with a 180 twist right before going into a submarine dive down to about 20' then popping completely out of the water and doing a complete air borne barrel roll...
Yeah, that's it, I do it all the time, right under the Golden Gate bridge, for all the tourists.

Just like that Bruddah !! Except my wetsuit is sort of a flesh-tone, and makes me look a little heavier...
BTW - I have been typing it wrong: It's Hanauma Bay. And we got in today. I costs a buck to park, and then $5 per person to get in: you now have to stand through a 14-minute video presentation telling you what you can't do. Then you get to enter the 'preserve' and walk down the hill or take the tram. Fifty cents down, buck up. $2 for an 'all day pass.' Wow - the best things in life are no longer free, at least on Oahu!!
And I have to share one funny incident: Mrs. Chas dropped the three of us off to do our Jetski thing on Tuesday after we found that HB was closed. She took off with my wallet, all of our phones and so on. We had paid for our little adventure before she left, so we didn't know for a couple of hours that we were stranded, and she didn't know we didn't have our phones. She figured we had opted for waterskiing or another ride or whatever and blissfully kept shopping. I had to make a collect call to the store in Ventura and ask Jim to 'Direct Connect' with Mrs. Chas to tell her to come back and get us!! He laughed so hard I was amazed she could understand him at all.

Hanauma bay was one of the best times I've had on vacation. The steep walk down to it is something else nevermind trying to walk back up, but the snorkling is awesome! Don't forget to buy some peas!
If you have a chance, take the short drive up to the north shore for some incredible waves. Just watch the undertoe...It'll drag you out if your not careful. Some people my parents knew went on vacation there and she was killed from the undertoe. They never did find her body. On that cheerful note, I'm going to bed!
Have a great time Chas!

Love those Nextel phones! Had it been my wife, she would have left her phone in the car and we would be there for several hours more. That woman can shop!
Had a great time at the Bay snorkeling. I let someone else buy the peas. I was swimming 10 feet from this woman and she started dropping in frozen peas. Within 30 seconds I couldn't see her any more. All those fish so close freaked my wife out.
I remember swimming out pretty far and starting to swim back in only to come face to face with a long skinny fish with 10 million teeth. I don't know if it was a barracuda or a "Sea Gar", I'm not sure who scared who the most.
