The tour will be very short, consisting of only 3-4 hops, each visiting various airports throughout the eight main islands of the Hawaiian Island chain. The hops will be short, each being no more than 45 minutes long.
Start date is to be determined.
The tour will most likely take place on Sundays right before the South America Tour and will be taking the place of my world tour.

Here is an overview of the tour:

If there are any questions or recommendations please post them here or e-mail me.

Mind showing me the "On Her Lu-Lu" link?

And the blueskyscenery is very nice, and you can set other objects over it, as there is no autogen / 3-D that beats the mountains on it Grin
