    I read your posts everyday. We were scheduled to spend part of our vacation and celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary on Kauai when all the shelter in place orders went out. We are going to reschedule and are looking forward with excitement to get there as soon as we can. I am an essential worker at our local home improvement store and the thoughts of spending time in Hawaii is what helps me make it through the day. Thank you for the wonderful and informative articles each day.

    Awesome, thanks for sharing. History of the islands is so interesting. We only have been to Oahu and Maui but now know where our next trip will be to. Any more interesting history tidbits to give us while we cannot travel.
    thanks from Minnesota,

    What an absolutely beautiful representation of culture and history! This would be a necessity for a historical time capsule.

    Mahalo for sharing, Guys!

    Mahalo for providing the link to this video. We stayed at the Courtyard a few years ago, and recognized the Heiaus on the grounds there. It was enjoyable to watch, until we can get back to our house on Hawaii Island.

    Aloha Guys,

    What a great history lesson! I think everybody should watch that video, it puts a whole new perspective on Wailua, and re-kindles the spirit!
    Stay safe and stay healthy!

    Mahalo,

    Joe

    Great idea, IMO …

    While the tourist travel to/from the Mainland is DOWN right now (and that’s an understatement) … your recent focus on Hawai’i history — and sea and air travel to/from the Islands — is a good place to focus.

    I’ve traveled the world and my “frequent flyer card” is full as a result of flying in the USN and later being an airline pilot I’ve found that “foreign travel” (at least ‘foreign’ on an limited basis) is much more enjoyable if you have some “historical” knowledge of the places you are visiting.

    Again … whether this was your intent or merely a positive benefit of this “down time” — Hana Maikaʻi

      Hi Capt A.

      You have interesting names. 🙂 Thank you.

      Truth be told, we started as a culture oriented site, not related to air travel and deals at all, and the rest just happened organically over time. We’ve always enjoyed this side a lot, and expect there will be more of it coming, in various forms. Stay tuned for some surprises we’ll announce in the next month.

      Aloha.

    Thank you for sharing. My first trip to Kauai was spring break 1972 (UH Mānoa) we camped on the beach between Lihue Airport and Wailua

    Greetings

    Great information. Are the huaka’i po (Ghost Warriors) the same as the Night Marchers?

    Thanks

    Ellen
