Well, because of another post earlier today, I found out that we will be on the BI during the Ironman Tri. I have changed my itinerary so much %26amp; I finally had everything set. Now I%26#39;m thinking I should change again to avoid the Ironman crowds a bit.
I%26#39;m stuck with my dates though Oct 10-14. My original plan was fly into Hilo %26amp; 2 nts in Volcano then 2 nights in the Kohala area %26amp; fly out of Kona.
Should I fly in %26amp; out of Hilo and spend the 1st 2 days in Kohala instead of the last 2? Money wise it%26#39;s more economical to fly into %26amp; rent the car in Hilo.
Please advise.
Another Oct. itinerary question (planning around ironman)what a shame, so much changing.
where you stay the first night depends on what time you fly into Hilo I think, and you didn%26#39;t say. Yes I think you%26#39;re better off avoiding Kona unless you get interested in Ironman, in which case you%26#39;re in the right place and many would envy that.
Which day is the bike race up to North Kohala? They%26#39;ll close the highway that day and only let you ';escape'; periodically. Whether that would matter to you with your Kohala plans I don%26#39;t know enough of them to say, but keep that in mind.
For example, my son was working near the Mauna Kea this year and had to wait to leave which was kind of a pain. The police then allowed people to drive to the Kawaihae Rd, in his case, as he wanted to come back to Hilo.
Sorry I don%26#39;t keep track of the schedule but it should be online or maybe someone else knows. Other than that one day the road is open as usual and I don%26#39;t see a problem if you stay out of Kailua-Kona. Kohala is kind of in its own world.
As for your departure, again, as long as you don%26#39;t have to push it to get to the airport, sounds like it will save you money to fly in and out of Hilo.
