FIrst, I would verify "IF" this is ON. Then I would strongly consider NOT doing IVSM before going to Hawaii. The reason, as I understand it, it that the IVSM lowers your immune system response and makes you suseptible to whatever is out there to be exposed. This lower immunity last about 28 days and having IVSM then going to an airport, flying a long time in an airplane, and mixing with people from all over the world, would not be the best thing to prevent exposure to all of the bugs out there.

Just something else to think about.
