This rainbow was a good sign on Super Bowl Sunday! What an amazing place we live to wake up to such a beautiful sight! I guess Eli Manning and the Giants were at the end of this rainbow collecting the pot of gold!
Right now, I am calling everyday to find a one-bedroom available at Waihonua; I keep checking the availability list, to no avail! Because of the popularity of the latest building in Kakaako, Alexander and Baldwin has become the pioneer of development in 2012. More developments have suddenly popped up. What’s great is what this new project [...]
I’ve lived in North Kona on the Big Island for seven years and I had never played golf until this year. Last Sunday, I realized what a beautiful place and how reasonable the kama’aina prices are at the Keauhou Country Club on the mauka (mountain side) course. My next goal is to play from the [...]
If you read my previous blog – Cost of Living the Kohala Coast Resorts Lifestyle, Part 1 – you probably got inspired by the homes and settings at Mauna Kea Resort that defined some of the resort lifestyle on the Kohala Coast. Today, I want to help you discover what’s going on just a few miles south [...]
Valentine’s Day is special…some people love it, some people hate it, some are indifferent…for me, I’m glad it gives us dining choices! Manta at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel
Every morning that I wake up on Kaua’i I give thanks to the powers that have enabled me to call this garden island my home for the last 40 years. I have traveled the world, exploring many deserted islands, amazing cities, and countrysides; there is simply nowhere that compares to this island I call home. [...]
In 1965, Frank Sinatra produced and starred in a movie called “None But the Brave” at a secluded beach on the north shore of Kaua’i. While the movie was being filmed, my family purchased this little piece of paradise and waited anxiously for the completion of the film to take ownership. Since it is far [...]

Hawaii may be the furthest state from the two East Coast teams playing in the Superbowl this Sunday, but we still love our football!
Maui’s North Shore offers many exciting activities all year long. Many of our top action sports rely on Maliko Gulch as a launch point for tow in surfing, fishing, jet ski support, one man canoe, SUP downwinders, etc. It is an instant recharge to swim in the clear waters where the ocean and the streams [...]

While so many eyes were fixed on the Hawaiian islands this weekend with the broadcast of the 2012 Pro Bowl game, my eyes were glued to a much bigger bowl…the big fish bowl of the Pacific. The grand splash a whale’s tail I took a 3.5 hr. Na Pali sunset cruise and was on the [...]
Another perfect ending to a beautiful day here on Kauai with my family as we watched the world class waves roll in at sunset from the St. Regis Princeville Hotel last night and enjoyed pupus and cocktails.
Over the last 5 years traffic has come to a halt on the North Shore of Oahu. Who’s to blame?? If you ask a local resident, they may say Hollywood is to blame…The movie Blue Crush was the beginning, or MTV’s Boarding House, or Saving Sarah Marshall, or the one where Owen Wilson lives on [...]
