For those who believe peak oil will be coming sooner than later, how long can Hawaii’s tourism industry last since more than any other place, is reliant on air transportation? (i don’t think too many people want to take a boat ride there)

They do get a number of cruise ships daily to the islands but I agree that the oil prices are hurting the islands. They ran a story on the news here last week talking about the skyrocketing prices for food in Hawaii. A gallon of milk was $8 and orange juice was $14 a gallon. Everything isn’t quite at those outrageous levels but just the price of eating is WAY up.
