On my way to BlogHer, where I met some b5 media beauties, I was delayed for four hours in Salt Lake City due to a mechanical issue. Oy. Ordinarily, I would have been disappointed and a little put out by the whole thing, but despite wondering what I was missing at the conference, […]

A few years ago I was asking my cousin about her trip to Maui. Her face fell. “It rained the entire time,” she said, “we were so disappointed.”
Although it’s possible for a rain-out during an island vacation, most of the islands are big enough that tourists can drive to a dry side in a […]

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.

It’s gay pride month, and if you were in the know about LGBTQ happenings in Hawai’i, you knew that, in February, the 2008 annual pride parade in Honolulu was slated for cancellation. That was until three very ambitious folks took the reigns and, on the fly, created the Pride Festival Foundation (PFF).

Mary Jo over at the FlyAway Cafe posted a bit about her celebrity sightings in today’s edition of her Friday Flight Attendant series. Not one to let a good idea slip by uncopied, I’ve decided to jump on board, too–so to speak.

The first thing my husband, a New Yorker by birth, noticed about island travel was the time difference. I’m not talking about the Pacific time zone, the number of hours you deduct from your watch when you step off the plane. I’m referring to the different way that the concept of time is […]

While I usually try and avoid sensationalist topics, I must admit that I’m fascinated by the action continuing over at ‘Iolani Palace on Oahu.
Since my May 1st post entitled Peaceful Protests Close Iolani Palace, I’ve learned that, according […]

I was recently discussing accommodations in Hawai’i, and we both decided that if you’re from the school that says there are no bad accommodations, only bad bank accounts, you’ll agree: Whether you’re in a beach front mansion or camping out, you’re still in Hawai’i. As the kids say, it’s all good. This is […]
