Jetset, get ready for the deep freeze in Alaska. The humpbacks have deserted you.

Thanks for the link, mat. You know what a nut I am for whales. My next trip to HI will be while the whales are there!!

If mat has a talk with the whales, I'm sure they'll stick around.

Oh BTW mat, thanks for arranging that great lava flow for us last week!! It was well worth the hike.

lynn, yes they'll be around in mid november, though a whale sighting is not guaranteed. if you go on a whale watch cruise, do it early in your trip as some companies will give you another trip free if you don't see a whale on your first trip.

p_m- my pleasure, glad Pele cooperated for your long hike!
