Good morning, slip and Kim, wishing you and to everyone a Happy Aloha Friday.

It's a little cool this morning in the Tidewater Virginia areas it's only about 30 degrees.

Please enjoy your day in the Beautiful State of Hawaii.
Cool in Orlando, too. Only about 60! :D

Happy aloha Friday, slip & Pedro!

Happy Aloha Friday everyone!! I got this out late today. Wow, it has been soon windy. We have been under a wind advisory. It ends today at 6pm. 20 to 30mph winds with gusts up to 50mph. It has brought some VOG from the Volcano to the whole state.

Today's picture takes us to Downtown Kaunakakai just before the start of this year's Molokai Christmas Lights Parade. We were greeted with an awesome rainbow right while we were choosing our seats.

Enjoy and have a Great Aloha Friday and awesome weekend. shaka

We are going on a Southern Caribbean Cruise and we do not know how our internet connection will be.
Therefore, we are wishing everyone a
Mele Kalikimaka and a Hau'oli Makahiki Hou. LOL

Happy Aloha Friday!! Only one more Aloha Friday until Christmas. Our wind has finally died down and we are back to our normal December weather. We hope to take a drive to Halawa Bay this week.


This week's picture takes us back to Kauai and to a staple in Lihue. Hamura Saimin has been in this converted Army Barracks since 1952. It's a nice step back in time. Only counter seating or takeout but you will get some of the best Saimin on the island.


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

Happy Aloha Friday!!! It's Christmas weekend and many of you are digging out of some snow or hunkering down because of the artic blast of cold air but none of that will stop Santa and his sleigh.

This week's photo takes us back to Oahu where Shaka Santa and Mele Tutu have been greeting people along King Street for 38 years now. I always enjoyed seeing them in December on my ride home from work.

So enjoy and have a Happy Aloha Friday and a very Merry Christmas everyone!!!! shaka

For the 3rd Christmas in a row, our celebration has been cancelled due to COVID in the family, so Rod and I are headed for our home in Nevada today to enjoy some snowy relaxation.

Happy Friday!!!

Oh shoot, now the Bing Crosby Mele Kalikimaka song is running thru my head.
Here's a video (a little tinny) and the lyrics

Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas)
Song by Bing Crosby

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway

The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas
A very Merry Christmas
A very, very, Merry, Merry Christmas to you

Happy Aloha Friday!! And just like that, it's the last Aloha Friday of 2022. We will be ringing in our first New Year on Molokai in 2023. I know it will be much quieter that all the fireworks in Waikiki. We hope everyone has a Fantastic 2023.

This weeks picture takes us back to Kauai and to the Kauai Coffee Company. Kauai Coffee began in the early 1800's as McBryde Sugar Company, one of the first sugar farmers in Hawaii. The transformation from McBryde Sugar Company to Kauai Coffee in 1987 represents Hawaii's largest diversified agricultural project in the past 50 years. With over 4 million Coffee trees grown on 3,100 acres, Kauai Coffee Company is Hawaii's largest Coffee grower and thus the largest Coffee grower in the US.

Enjoy and have an awesome Aloha Friday and a Happy New Year!!! shaka
