The path to the falls
If you grew up near water, you might consider the rope swing de rigeur for summertime frolicking and fun. And rightly so; nothing says “rite of passage” and “finding your inner Tarzan” like a good rope over a cool, natural body of water. (Hope it’s deep, too.) That’s why if you’re […]

Mary Jo over at Flyaway Cafe and The Seattle Traveler posted recently a bit about “nakations,” or, vacations one can enjoy in the nude.
Although Hawai’i isn’t known for its nude beaches, the thing that is most likely to designate one beach or another as such is its inaccessibility.
Red Sand Beach in Hana, or Kaihalulu Beach, […]
When you say, “Book it,” most tourists think of their Hawai’i itinerary. Hawai’i is the place to bring your trashy novels, your guilty pleasure reading, and your fluff magazines for extraordinary beach reading. And who says it isn’t? Reading is reading, I say. And if you’re in the mood to patronize one […]
There is one Hawaiian island that I’ve never visited, and that I will most likely never step foot on. It’s the same island that you’ve never visited, nor will you probably ever walk on. It’s Ni’ihau, and one reason I’m pretty sure you or I won’t ever find ourselves there is because it’s also […]
You’ve no doubt seen bumper stickers and other materials with some version of the line art figure above. Called “honu” by Hawaiians and the Hawaii-friendly, it’s a representation of the green sea turtle, an endangered species you’re bound to see while snorkeling in Kaua’i.
Hawaii is the Endangered Species Capital of the World. With […]
Maybe it’s just because I’m a mountain girl at heart, but the region on Maui known as “upcountry” is my favorite, even thought it’s commonly “dissed” because it’s less like the tropics than the coastlines. And it is less “tropical,” in that the weather is cooler, dryer, and obviously less beachy, since it’s in […]
I admit that it’s been forever since I’ve visited Moloka’i. Too long; a fact that I chalk up to just plain laziness and living happily under a few of my more comforting ruts in life. But it’s been on my mind, that out of the way place that’s only approachable by small charter or ferry. […]

If you want to crack up about the difference between the Hawai’i of the ’60s and the Hawai’i of today, watching the movie Riding Giants ought to do it for you. It’s not only a kicking surfing film that’s interesting to surfers and non-surfers alike, it […]

Who says taste has to be complicated? Or expensive? Some of the most delicious dishes ever experienced on the islands are to be found–dare I say?–on a paper plate. Maybe it’s the atmosphere. I’ve heard outdoorsman say that everything tastes better when cooked over a campfire, and maybe everything’s just as […]
