OK, so you are still scratching your head. Be glad you have something to scratch and move on from this.

So, Dukey, it's OK for YOU to tell the OP to "chill out" about this, but when I tell her the same I get from you a "move on" or a chill out myself. Is this a new Fodor's rule -- only Dukey is allowed to suggest that someone is obsessing when there's nothing to obsess about but Dukey is obsessing about it anyway as well as obsessing about anyone who says the same thing he says?

Anyone wonder why I haven't been back in two days? Because the "banter" was getting a little silly, so I've just been outside enjoying myself.

OK, so no explanation of how 85 is "SO wrong" from mid 80's?

You're right, though, the banter WAS silly -- from the start.

NeoPatrick, since you seem to actually want an answer, here it is. 1) I said the temperature report was accurate. 2) the report said it was very windy, 20 mph+ and there was just some light breeze. 3) the report said it was cloudy and there was barely a cloud in the sky.

In any event, we moved from Maui to the Big Island, there have been some cloudy moments, but no rain, and it's warm - mid-80s. I'm sitting on my balcony with a cup of coffee looking out at the golf course. The hardest decisions I'll make today are 1) pool or beach, and 2) what time to go to the driving range.

Delicious barbecued steaks (grass-fed Hawaiian cattle?) last night after happy hour and sunset at the Lava Lava Beach Club.

I hope you got over your completely irresponsible denial that there is a Dengue Fever outbreak on Hawaii and you have taken proper precautions.

I never denied it - I said I hadn't heard about it, it wasn't being discussed among tourists, nor were hotel operators and others catering to tourists mentioning it or recommending tourists take precautions. I did discuss it with my friend, and today read about it in the local paper, but if I hadn't heard about it on Fodors or read the local paper, I would not have known the problem existed, even after a week here.
