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 know (and there were quite a few on our tour who fell … [Read more...] about Friday Fotos — Palapala Ho’omau Church

Friday Fotos — a walk along Anini Beach Road
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.

Kay Hadashi returns to Friday Fotos with an Orchids and Ice tour
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 vent at the park, take note that it's the site of a gruesome (but ficititious!) murder in … [Read more...] about Kay Hadashi returns to Friday Fotos with an Orchids and Ice tour
