FYI for anyone heading to Hawaii

Officials are urging the public to be careful after a highly venomous yellow-bellied sea snake washed ashore last week.

The live snake was found pinned under a log at Honolii Beach in Hilo on Feb. 4.

Officials say it’s rare to find yellow-bellied sea snakes on land in Hawaii, and if you see one, don't touch it.

“This type of sea snake can be more venomous than a cobra and potentially lethal to humans,” said Board of Agriculture chair Sharon Hurd.

You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. Typically when checking in, you give the front desk your credit card (for any charges to your room).

You go to your room and settle in. All is good.

The hotel receives a call and the caller asks for (as an example) room 620 - which happens to be your room.

The phone rings in your room. You answer and the person on the other end says the following: 'This is the front desk. When checking in, we came across a problem with your charge card information. Please re-read me your credit card number and verify the last 3 digits numbers at the reverse side of your charge card.'

Not thinking anything wrong, since the call seems to come from the front desk you oblige.
But actually, it is a scam by someone calling from outside the hotel.
They have asked for a random room number, then ask you for your credit card and address information.
They sound so professional, that you think you are talking to the front desk.

If you ever encounter this scenario on your travels, tell the caller that you will be down to the front desk to clear up any problems. Then, go to the front desk or call directly and ask if there was a problem.
If there was none, inform the manager of the hotel that someone tried to scam you of your credit card information, acting like a front desk employee.

ANYONE travelling should be aware of this one!

Wow! Pacific coast highway 101 had an interesting start.

The Pacific Highway, which officially opened on January 29, 1915, was a monumental step in connecting the western United States and Canada by automobile. As more people began traveling by car in the early 20th century, automobile clubs in Washington, Oregon, California, and British Columbia came together to form the Pacific Highway Association. Their goal was to create a marked North-South route using existing roads, which would allow travelers to journey along the Pacific coast. While the road was officially designated, much of it remained unpaved, especially outside of major cities, making travel a challenging and adventurous undertaking.

This photograph, taken south of Seattle in 1915, captures a group of motorists from Tacoma as they drive along the newly designated Pacific Highway. The image reflects the optimism and excitement of the era, as cars were becoming more accessible and the idea of long-distance travel by automobile was becoming a reality. The scene highlights not only the growing popularity of the automobile but also the rough and often unfinished state of many roads in the region. Despite the challenges, this new highway represented a significant advancement in transportation infrastructure.

The opening of the Pacific Highway helped lay the foundation for the development of a more interconnected and accessible West Coast, fostering tourism, trade, and economic growth. The work of the Pacific Highway Association and the motorists who braved these early roads helped shape the future of the U.S. highway system and contributed to the car culture that would come to define much of 20th-century America.
