How far do you have to drive into town?

It's 13 miles ro town so 26 miles round trip that is very similar to what our trip was when we lived in Wisconsin.

The top speed limit here is 45mph and we go through a couple subdivisions where the speed drops to 35mph. It takes about 20 minutes.

We are even funding the best times to travel to Kaunakakai town. We have been caught behind the School bus dropping kids off in the afternoon a couple times. We try to avoid that now when planning our trip.

Does it cost less to travel at the worse time?

When we move to the country over 45 years ago; we drove 23 miles one way or 46 miles round trip. Two lane highways with no traffic once we cross the County line into old Nansemond County.
Once we crossed into old Nansemond County the temperatures would drop 6 to 8 degrees lower. Because Route 17 had very tall trees on both side of the highway. It was mostly farmland, with chicken, pigs, hogs,, peach orchards, collars, corn fields, and cotton fields.

Now it take 10 minutes or more just to leave our neighborhood because all the traffic on Route 17 , now the City folks called it Bridge Road.

Very similar to our route in Wisconsin they put in a bypass and that knocked a couple miles off. But not much traffic. The only problem times were when it showed.

It will just keep getting busier there. We'll see what happens here in Molokai.

Another beautiful weekend is on the way. Tomorrow we have to pick up our Krispy Kreme Donuts at the Kilohana School for their fundraiser. Haven't had those in years.

This week's photo takes us back to Oahu from the Rainbow Tower at Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki for a sunset. We stayed there over Christmas 2020. Enjoy and have a Wonderful Aloha Friday.

Another week and another Aloha Friday. Most of Hawaii got some much needed rain this week. Well, maybe the Honolulu airport got too much since it flooded and it looks like some rain will continue through the weekend.

This week's photo is from over by the West side of Molokai and it reminds visitors and locals alike to where they are and what makes Molokai, Molokai.

Enjoy and have an awesome Aloha Friday everyone!

Happy Aloha Friday. We didn't get much rain where we are on Maui, but the weather last night did drive us indoors for dinner.

We just got back home from Kaunakakai and it started to rain really good as soon as we parked. Got a little wet coming inside. We were going to have lunch outside but the while lanai was wet.

Hope your enjoying your trip.

It's another Great Aloha Friday!! Kim has her first doctors appointment on Molokai today so we are up early and ready to go into Kaunakakai town. We're going to stop at the Lunch Box and grab some Subs for lunch. It's a beautiful day here and hope everyone has some nice weather to enjoy.

This week's picture takes us to Kauai and the Kilauea Lighthouse. It's a beautiful place to visit when you make it to Kauai.

Enjoy and have a Wonderful Aloha Friday everyone!

Just when it showed snow?
I think the WI bypass was getting some wintery mix today also.
