hawaii: The Road to Hana - 08/22/08 09:21 PM
8-21- the road to hana On of the many highlights of our recent trip to Kauai & Maui (in addition to getting married) was our trek to Hana, on the island of Maui. The Road to Hana has long been immortalized in song and in legend. While the road has seen some significant improvements since the last time I was there over 20 years ago, it remains a scenic, treacherous and breathtaking adventure. Nearly 80 miles from where we were staying in Kaanapali just north of Lahaina, Hana Town lies some 52 miles south of the old plantation town of Pa'ia … (2 comments)

hawaii: Obama at the Blowhole. Too funny. - 08/15/08 10:13 PM
Just had to pass this along for those of you who might need a chuckle. You probably noticed I haven't done any political posts the past couple weeks. That's because I've been on Kauai and Maui and so I've made a few posts to Traveling Rainers. For those of you unlucky enough to actually have real estate business to attend to - you can experience a virtual vacation through me. In fact if you want to take up a collection and send it over, I'll gladly stay another week or two and let you know how it is. Thanks.
Anyway, as you're … (25 comments)

hawaii: Maui - O'o & Pineapple Wine - 08/14/08 04:38 AM
8/13 Maui - O'o & Pineapple Wine Aloha from the 2nd stop of my wedding/honeymoon adventure - the Magical Isles: Maui, Moloka‘i and Lana‘i. If you've been enjoying the travel log, last week we were on the Garden Isle of Kauai in a great beach house. Lisa and I were married 8/8/08 with our children  and granddaughter around us. It was a great time in a beautiful corner of the world. The island of Kauai boasts a population of only about 57,000 people which makes it a laid back, uncrowded place that abounds in natural beauty and grace. Aloha from the … (7 comments)

hawaii: Hangin' Loose on Kauai (WARNING: some nudity) - 08/10/08 02:46 PM
8-9 Kauai Aloha. If you folks have never been to Kauai I suggest you drop whatever you're doing and high tail it over here. Of course in my case it's somewhat easier because I've got no real estate business going right now so I figure I can just as easily sell nothing over here as I can over there, and have a lot better time not doing it.  This is my second travel log from The Garden Isle. As previous readers are aware, I came over here to get married - which we did yesterday 8/8/08, right in our backyard on … (3 comments)

hawaii: Aloha from the Garden Island Kauai - 08/07/08 01:37 PM
8-3 Kauai Aloha from the Garden Isle - Kauai. As some of you know, I'm here to get married - tomorrow, as a matter of fact. What an awesome spot. I've not been to Kauai before but we will definitely be back again. So We've rented this great beach house in Anahola, which is about halfway between the airport at Lihue and Hanalei/Princevill. I'm sitting here on the balcony off the master suite - which takes up the 2nd floor of this house, and the view is stunning. The green lawn rolls down to a flowered break and right to the … (6 comments)
