Romantic? Green? Not many Irish beaches in Hawaii. Why is it romantic?
BeachBeauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. I can understand a Top 5 Beaches list with only one, just one, Hawaii beach. After all, why should we want to hog the spotlight all the time, when simply ‘most of the time’ will do? Green beaches? Romance? Get real. read more »

Instead of the movie, "Pearl Harbor," we'd have "Wai Momi." What a blast.
PearlWell, when you get down to it, the name "Pearl" Harbor is pearl for a reason. Abundant with oyster shells, the Hawaiians once called this area on Oahu “Wai Momi”. That means ‘Pearl Waters’. Which pretty much gives away the secret embedded in the headline, huh? read more »

And a little "E lei aku oe kuu aloha" to you, too.
LeiWhile we're tossing local phrases around like we know what they mean, how about. And "I koolua nou I kahi mehemeha." In other words, "Wear my love as a lei, and as your companion in lonely places." In short, how to get a lei in Hawaii. read more »

An old Maui friend combines elegance, youthful spirit, and fat women.
FatMaui has two luxurious coasts; Kaanapali to the West, Wailea to the South. While Kaanapali (say that real fast, three times) is open and spacious, the resorts of Wailea are snug, comfortable. The number of "fat women" statues will surprise even skinny folks. 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. Four years and a $28-million renovation means the popcorn and Cokes and candy bars are gone forever. Here’s why. read more »

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 »

Hot Hawaiian Summers? We Get Them. Where Did The Queen Go To Cool Off?
ParkHawaiian summers are known to be hot and humid. Temperatures sometimes hit the upper 80s and have occasionally breached the 90-degree mark. Where would any self respecting Queen go to cool off in the summer and leave the heat in the Palace? The Summer Palace, of course. read more »

Welcome to life on the Waianae Coast on Oahu. Without the welcome mat.
SunsetDid I mention “rugged?” It is. With a Jekyl and Hyde attitude. Beautiful to behold during the day. Three notches above “rugged” at night with a “tough guy” reputation. Tread carefully. Waianae ain't Waikiki. Even Middle East Terrorists don't go to Waianae at night... read more »
