I was taught by my Hawaiian friends that Mauka means to the Mountain side or inward and Makai meant to the Ocean Side. So Mauka in Hilo would mean eastward and in Kona would mean westward. Interesting to see it related to winds as anyone who has ever encountered severe fog knows, winds change direction at times.
Not got on left and right. Makai means eastward in Hilo and Westward in Kona. Always get confused with winds on direction from and to also. Would love to know how the wind direction works with Directions. Genuinely interested
FOR HAWAIIAN MUSIC: we found Hawaiian Rainbow (internet radio station) which i play on my Alexa at home (just say play Hawaiian Rainbow on tune in). it is the best Hawaiian station i have found and occasionally during the day they will just play waves crashing. Best Kept Secret!!!
Mahalo for the great list!
When we recently moved from MD to FL with the agreement we would summer in Washington State, I found a Hawaiian restaurant the next town down and have been telling all the locals about it. they use spam cans to collect your credit card or money! Live and canned music, including Bruddah Iz any time I ask for him.
aloha BOH!! What a great list you have compiled. Yes, I have 3/4 of those suggestions already in my mode. I started in 1977 and have been adding a Hawaiian culture in my life since then. The sense of calm and spiritual blessedness that envelopes me when I am there has never left my heart and soul. It is a truly satisfying life-style for me. Mahalo for your updates.
Aloha, guys! Love this list. Made me smile because I do some of those things to “take me back” to Kauai when I need a fix. It like talkin story with my fave uncles.🤙
LOVE this list. So applicable to those of us to whom the honorable name of “part time local” is bestowed. Just sent a text message to a friend who is visiting Kauai for the first time and asked her how long she will be on island. Oh yeah, I am ready. October will find me on Kauai for six amazing weeks. Gotta break out the ukulele and start practicing.
Yes we are on schedule next month been to all the island hike to Lava hill in Hilo etc just praying lockdown not gonna happen can’t wait to be in the island and share the good times to the world staying safe and healthy is the key wear mask and sanitize or wash hands often. We prepared with all requirements from the Hawaii Government and ready to be in the island.
Love all the helpful hints…I’ve been doing them all on a regular basis! I’ll be looking to rebook our postponed October trip ASAP! Thanks for all you do at keeping us informed
Thank you for all the timely info. I have been waiting for the next Southwest booking advancements…now into April I believe. The Southwest effect is on for me.
We have booked our 50th Anniversary to Kauai for Jan 17 – Feb 10th
$341.00 Round trip non-stop both ways per person from Phoenix, AZ. (basic fare was $22.00 less). American Air.
In 50 years we have been to the Islands 10 times and Kauai 5 times.
Very hopeful that this will happen..
