Palapala Ho’omau Church on Friday Fotos Where exactly is the Palapala Ho’omau Church? Try in one of the most remote sections of Maui. I’ve chosen to use these photos today for a couple of reasons. First, this is the location of the gravesite of Charles Lindbergh, one of our great American heroes. For those that don’t […]

While we were on Kauai, we took a day trip to Hanalei. Along the way, we stopped and spent time at Anini Beach. But, before heading down to the beach, we walked Anini Beach Road. There’s very little traffic on Anini Beach Road once you get past the county park. Also, the further you go, the fewer […]

One of the last things we did on Kauai was visit Ahukini Landing. Typically, Ahukini Landing is glossed over in the guidebooks. And, even though it’s only a couple of miles from our condo, an old fishing pier that had been removed never quite seemed interesting enough to warrant a visit. At least, not until we were talking to […]

Just in case you missed the previous Heritage Gardens photos, they can be found here. This time, we’ll take a short tour of the Japanese section of Heritage Gardens. The park is a living memorial to the immigrants who moved to Hawaii and helped settle the island. Many who came eventually returned home, but others stayed. […]

One of the things I love about featuring photos from others is that I get to see parts of Hawaii I’ve never seen before. This week, Kay Hadashi returns with a trip to parts of Hawaii Volcanos National Park she took while researching “Orchids and Ice.” When you get to the photo of the steam […]

Two weeks ago, we started a tour of the Liliuokalani Garden in Hilo thanks to Hawaii author Kay Hadashi. This week, we’ll finish that tour of the gardens, which are now someplace I have to see in the future…

This week’s Friday Fotos are going to cover a lot of ground on Kauai and we’ll wind up at “Ambrose’s”, which is a tiny store in Kapa’a that seems to never be open. We’ve been going to Kauai for about twenty-five years and the store has been there for as long as I can remember. […]

On Kauai, there are plenty of rocky shores. This week, we’re taking a look at those down in the Poipu areas. In fact, we’ve even got Spouting Horn spouting. Do you know the legend about why there’s a rhythmic moaning at Spouting Horn? It seems a little Hawaiian boy named Liko was chased into the […]

Last week’s Friday Fotos started at the Kauai Coffee Plantation and went about halfway up the road to Koke’e State Park. The week, we continue the trip to the end of the road. It’s unusual to get long stretches of time when the skies are clear up at the top, and our trip was no […]

Turn left out of our condo at Kaua‘i Beach Villas, then take another left. Walk a little ways and take the path between the two beachfront buildings. Cross the grass and within about two minutes you’ve got this view. Well, gee, what’s not to like? This is Nukoli‘i Beach on Kauai’s East side. The waves can be […]
