a long drive from Hanalei to anywhere.
Staying in Wailua it was a short drive into anything from the Marriott/Airport North through Kapa'a. It was around a half hour (give or take 10 minutes and traffic) to get from there to just about anywhere else, whether that was Princeville, Poipu or Waimea.
I felt like it was more rainy on the windward side than if we'd been south or west, but still was convenient to get to everything.
