You're not going to get much sympathy from the Mainland!!! Seriously though, don't forget that there are direct flights to the mainland from Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. See if Hawaiian can fly you interisland and then put you on one of those flights. It happened to us a few years back, now you see what we Hawaii teams have to go through, and we flew to Maui from the Big Island to catch a direct flight to the Mainland. The airlines picked up all the costs and did the arranging. Don't forget to mention to whomever is helping you to check the flights out of our Neighbor Islands as well!!! Good luck!
