In-flight wifi?!?

Perhaps I just have not gotten out much, but they now have in-flight wifi! This is awesome. 

Granted, there is probably not much that I can or want to do while flying, but hey, it is still a pretty cool feature. 

There are a ton of bells and whistles to this aircraft, in-flight wifi, free seatback entertainment, maps and crap like that to  watch your flight slowly inch towards a destination. 

Somehow Tokyo is to the right of Honolulu. Granted, on a spherical earth this is quite accruate, as it would be in any direction from Honolulu, but I am hoping we decided to head left as it is a much faster route. I guess with only 7:11 left, we must be taking the westbound route. 

The really funny thing, is with all these choices of in flight entertainment, I am having trouble choosing what to do. 

If anyone is bored, feel free to message me on Facebook or line. I have 24 hours of JAL wifi and I am going to use every last penny I spent. 

The funny thing is that this wifi is faster and more reliable so far than the school I worked for previously. Sorry, had to say it. My flying tin can has more stable wifi. Win for JAL.

Well, with all this technology, it is time to settle in to my book. $18 well spent, plus about $8 for my book. All in all, should be an ok flight. 

Hard to put down the book on a Tyrion chapter...

Where to travel first? Ideas?

One of the major drawbacks to living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is that it costs an exorbitant amount of money to travel to a neighbor island, let alone anywhere outside of our state.  Sadly, with the way things are set up over in Hawaii, we offer discounts to airlines to bring people here in a tourist capacity, but have almost no deals to travel if you happen to live here.  It is a very Hotel California experience.  

To give you an idea of prices, here are the airfare rates from Hilo to various places in Hawaii:

Here are the prices to get to the Mainland:

Now, let's compare this to the prices of flights to and from Bangkok, Thailand.  Ready to have your mind blown?

Seems like we have been living in the wrong neck of the woods if we are going to actually be serious travelers.  

I am still blown away that it is cheaper to fly to a different country from Bangkok, Thailand than it is to fly to a neighbor island here in Hawaii.  Talk about a scam!

So, the question now remains, where the heck should we travel first?  Any ideas?
