Where's Hana? What's it like? Why would you go there? Good questions, all.
HanaOK, where's Hana? It's on Maui. How do you get there? Pull out your intestines and sling ‘em to the floor. It’ll look just like a map of the road to Hana, Maui. It’s all twisty, and curvy, with hairpin turns, and narrow constrictions, and bumps in the road— similar to those two Krispy Kremes you had this morning. read more »

You're looking for a hot vacation deal? Hawaii has the hottest. Really hot.
VolcanoThe Big Island of Hawaii is home to the island chain’s two largest peaks; Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Both tower above 13,000 feet. They’re cool. What’s hot is Hawaii’s active volcano, Kilauea. We're not talking 90-degrees and Kona winds. It's worse than West Texas. Almost... read more »

It's a theatre with matinees and evening features... but no popcorn.
TheatreThere’s something that’s just not right about going to a theatre and not being able to eat popcorn. I mean, that’s just what you’re supposed to do, right? Not at Hawaii Theatre.

Name the largest mountain in Hawaii and you got it. It's that easy and that tall.
Mauna LoaQuick. Name The Largest Mountain In The World. Everest? Nope? OK, can you name the largest volcano in the world? Mount Ranier in Washington state? Nope. That one is extinct. The largest mountain in the world is not Mount Everest and it’s 100 times larger than Mount Ranier. Can you name the mountain? read more »

Think "Bali by the Sea" and you're thinking of a premier Hawaii restaurant. Sort of.
HiltonIt’s great when a fine restaurant wins an award. That means you’re not the only one who likes the place. When a restaurant wins award after award, and does so year after year, it must be a great restaurant, right? What happens when the restaurant stops winning awards? read more »
