From Fodor's: Kona’s award-winning coffee has gained popularity worldwide for its full-bodied flavor. Hawaiian coffee is more diverse than just Kona Coffee; the crop is grown across five islands in eight different regions across the state. Hawaiian coffee stands out due to its mineral-rich volcanic soil and ideal climate for growing coffee plants. Visit Maui Coffee Attic on Maui, which is a cozy mom-and-pop café with a stage and performance area in addition to fantastic drinks. Honolulu Coffee Co. now features multiple locations but has humble origins as a small kiosk in downtown Honolulu dating back to 1992. In addition to the plethora of artisanal cafes across the islands, visit Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea to try ... read more

It was a bit of a drive to get back from the PCC the night before, and it was all that we could do but to fall into bed. Morning came quickly, and I think we both slept much better than the first night. I again had oatmeal for breakfast and Sharon had her cereal. I started to work on the blog for our first full day in Hawaii; when, I remembered a couple of things to add to the previous day’s ordeal of getting here. Somehow I managed to replace the previous day’s exploits with those of the PCC. Sharon took some perverse delight in pointing out to me, that now I was the unhappy camper; or, as she call’s me “Grumpy Boy”. What a quick change in fortunes as the day had started out ... read more

It was October 21st and three of us flew to Maui to stay in our host's beautiful condo Hololani in Kaanapali, Maui. After a 5-1/2 hour flight from Seattle to the airport near Lahaina, we rented a car and picked up some groceries from Safeway on our way to the condo. What a stunning condo it is! Located on the seventh floor, the view from the lanai overlooks the Pacific Ocean where cruise ships float by and the swimming pool where swimmers and sun bathers enjoy a barbecue dinner at sunset. What would be our first adventure? We arose early to spend a full day exploring Lahaina. Walking down Front Street, wevvisited the museum and had our pictures taken by the iconic banyan tree in the park. It is 200 feet wide and 70 feet high ... read more

Poor Jordan has been suffering with a head cold for the past 2 days. Thought it was just a dose of hayfever that he would get past but no. Headed up to Waimea Canyon today which is said to rival Nevada's Grand Canyon. Jordan was feeling lousy the whole way so we made a stop in Ele'ele to get him some medication - just like Oz the good stuff that actually works is locked up tight and I didnt have the right identification on me to get some for him. So we went with the 'placebos' which really were no help at all other than to give him a restful sleep - whcih really wasn't helpful considering where we were headed. Anyhoo ... the trip to Waimea was on the complete opposite side os the island ... read more
