Sandwich Island Saga 29. Tourism

Oahu has always been expensive but changes in the 30+ years since my last visit are very evident. There are new taxes on tourists as well as tickets being issued for formerly free locations (e.g. Hanauma Bay). The whole tourism thing seems to be becoming too regulated and controlled. It will be interesting to see whetherthe Hawaiian Islands eventually price and regulate themselves out of the market.

It's not, of course,  just flash floods that will increase with global heating. Heat waves, droughts and wild fires will all become more...
