    <link>http://www.konafriends.com/kona-car-rental.html</link>
    <description>I just updated the car rental page letting folks know that they should have their rental car reserved before they get here. 

I thought most people knew that already. Boy was I wrong. I know someone who works at the rental car agency out at the airport and she say&#39;s 4 or 5 people a day call saying they just landed in Kona and need to rent a car. Huh? 

I couldn&#39;t believe it. Don&#39;t be one of those people. But if you&#39;re reading this website I doubt you are, but I just had to mention it.</description>
