mauna kea resort: Big Island Hawaii - Kohala Coast real estate update, March 13 2009

Over the past few months my sunny optimism has been stunned into silence. Advisers are saying don't read the news. Pay close attention to the market and prepare for the turn around. I can't stop reading the news. I'm a voracious reader. I read, listen and watch international and national economists, and discuss the local market with professionals I trust. Consequently, I've been in a funk. I don't know if it's the decision by opinion leaders to moderate the gloom and doom, but this morning I heard a fleeting bit of good news from the powers that be in Honolulu. I didn't … (0 comments)

mauna kea resort: Hawaii Island tennis fundraiser July 2008

There's one thing you'll soon notice after moving to Hawaii: all of the charitable events. Honolulu Magazine has a Kokua section that's always packed with events to be held around the state. The local newspaper is also good about publishing event calendars. There's a golf tournament to raise money for this; a silent auction to raise money for that.
