Happy Aloha Friday!!! We will be watching Hurricane Dora but it looks to pass south of Hawaii Island next week. It is still increasing in strength and is expected to become a category 4 Hurricane as it passes over warmer water.

This week's photo takes us over to Maui and to the beach at the Maui Schooner. There was some rain over the water as the sun was setting in May. There were some nice colors in the sky also.

Enjoy and have a great Aloha Friday and an awesome weekend!!!

Happy Aloha Friday!!! It's already almost the middle of August. Schools are starting here and preseason football is already upon us too.

This week's picture takes us back to Kauai and Wailua Falls. The falls are 173 feet tall and are on the Wailua River. You may recognize it from being in the opening to the tv show "Fantasy Island ".

Let's keep everyone on Maui and especially Lahaina in our hearts during this tragic time. This will take years to recover from.

Have a great Aloha Friday and an awesome weekend!!!

Happy Aloha Friday!! Luckily, Hurricane Fernando broke up and will only give us some rain next week. Hopefully it will help some of the dry areas across the islands.

This week's picture takes us to Molokai yesterday morning from our lanai. After observing the sky that night, the sun started to rise and the colors filled the Southeastern sky. I never tire of sunrises like these.

Enjoy and have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a great weekend.

Best of Aloha Fridays to All!
Jeff, as always, I find your weekly contributions to be both educational and awe inspiring. I can likely speak for many on this thread that your posts can often be an early highlight on Fridays that may find us at the end of the busiest of weeks. Many thanks!

If all goes to plan, the spouse and I will be on the ground for some R&R through next Aloha Friday. We are currently booked on the Saturday United nonstop from DEN-KOA scheduled to whisk us away at high noon and deliver us to KOA at just after 3pm local time. Last year’s flight to OGG was on SW through CA. This time it will be a new experience to fly direct in cattle class.
Also, I would like to add link for Maui Humane Society as I believe they can use all the help we can offer at this time.

My family really enjoyed their Beach Buddies program last summer where we were able to foster a shelter pup for part of the day. So much fun!

Mahalo!

I had contact the Mau'i Humane Society about going over for 30 days and volunteer. I told them I would be willing to work 6 days per week and 10 hours per day. I was going to stay at the WM Kihei, fly on air miles, and rent a car. They thought about it for a couple days. Then decided with the Governor and Mayor advising people not to travel to Mau'i that they had to decline my offer.

Big, Big Mahalo for the kind words.

Also, Thanks for the links. That's truely a great program.

The upcoming trip will be awesome. We were just there in May. Don't forget to get on island time and relax. Don the Beachcomber at the Royal Kona has great Mai Tai's, if your into that.

Let us know how it went when you get back.

Happy Pau Hana and Aloha Friday to all! Thanks especially to Jeff for continuing to remind me of special moments from our trips. Last time we stayed in Kona, I had to most relaxing breakfast at Island Lava Java. As I sipped my coffee and ate my cinnamon bun, I listened to live island style music and watched the surfers. Ahhhh!

Now that's getting on Island time.

We love Lava Java.

Happy Aloha Friday!! School is back in session here and summer is coming to a close. I'm seeing and hearing about the heat wave on the mainland. Stay cool everyone. Hopefully it will be short lived.

This week's photo takes us back to the Big Island of Hawaii in Kona. This photo was taken from Alii Drive in Kona looking back to the Royal Kona Hotel. I still consider the Mai Tai there at Don the Beachcomber in the Royal Kona as the best I have ever had. Try one for yourself when you are in the area.

Enjoy and have a Great Aloha Friday and an Awesome weekend!!!

Happy Aloha Friday!
My better half and I were fortunate to experience our morning in the air exploring the island of Hawaii. We booked front row seats on the Big Island Volcano Deluxe tour offered by Sunshine Helicopters. To be honest, we got here with no intention of taking to the skies, but the opportunity seemed to great to pass up. It did not disappoint in the least (except maybe cost, but hey…) We were in the air for more than 100 minutes passing over Kilauea, the Hilo Forest Reserve, the Hamakua Coast and Kohala Coast. Amazing to see these areas from a completely new perspective after driving through Volcanoes NP and the Kohala Coast. Here is just a sample to share. What an amazing morning!!

Happy Aloha Friday!!! Another August is complete and we head into September. Fall will be official in a few weeks and the colors will start to change on the mainland.

This week's picture takes us back to Kauai and to it's North shore. This is a picture of the Hanalei Pier about ten years ago during its canopy restoration. The Hanalei Rotary raised $170,000 to complete the project. The Pier was originally made of wood prior to 1892 but it needed constant repairs. In 1921 it was decided a new Pier made of concrete was needed and it was completed in 1922.

Enjoy and have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a Great weekend.
