Help is on the way...

Any idea which side of Maui the ferry goes to? If they’re on the west side, they’d have a passenger advantage, but I’m not sure about freight handling capability over there. If they’re going to Wailuku, they’ll have freight handling, but not much in the way of tourist amenities.

My first trip to Hawaii was on a Navy ship at the age of 4. I turned 5 during the trip. Two years later, the trip from Honolulu to San Diego was on a Boeing 707. The trip on the ship was preceded by a train ride from San Diego to San Francisco, then a bus ride to the pier where the ship was berthed.

It makes me wonder whether travel by ship is still a viable alternative to hopping a flight to Hawaii. I think the trip was about 5 days from San Francisco, but that is only a guess as I wasn't in the habit of checking calendars at age 4.
