Arriving at Big Island

Flew to Big Island today. The flight was quite short, only 50 minutes.

I had pre booked a rental car on Big Island since we are staying at a bead and breakfast in the middle of nowhere. I had booked a car and GPS, and everything should have been included, but it turned out to be wrong. I had to pay for a full tank of gas, or so they said. They didn't have a GPS available. They said that I could fetch one the next day, but I wasn't going to do a 90 minutes drive to get a GPS that I needed right away.

Thank god for Google maps on Android I had downloaded the whole island map so that it was available offline. I argued with the company and left with a free tank of gas, and a free upgrade to a larger car.
