Aloha Friday Fun!

 It’s Aloha Friday and we just have a lot of fun doing todays show.  We had a podcast listener question from John who wants to know where the best nightclub is with a twentysomething crowd for a short visit to Oahu. We also talked about Lomi Lomi massage and share our experience with getting this type of massage.  We also have the pleasure of seeing a rainbow during the show which we share during the USTREAM broadcast.  Check it out above.

As we do on every show we go over a couple packages that have been booked in the last 24 to 48 hours, so if you’re trying to figure out what Hawaii vacations are costing these days this is a perfect segment for you.

Talking Story About the Duke Kahanamoku Statue

Yesterday we had the opportunity to talk story with a gentleman by the name of Joe Correa who goes way back or in Hawaii and shared something we never knew about the Duke Kahanamoku  statue.  Joe was actually the guy that delivered the statue and placed it where it rests today on Kalakaua Avenue. A lot of people know that the statue doesn’t face the ocean so that people can take a pictures with the backdrop of the ocean.  Today we reveal a unknown fact about the statue and share information about why it is placed in this current position.

We cover a very delicate topic as a result of a blog posting by our writer Jim when penning in a letter we received from a dear friend about an unpleasant experience she had while visiting the islands. We give our take as residents and travel agents here in Hawaii.

We enter a podcast listener question about what to do in Hilo and Kona during a Hawaii Cruise.  Sometimes this can be a challenge because you have a short window of opportunity for activities.  We also go for packages that have been booked in the last 24 to 48 hours and thank new customers and the agents at Hawaii aloha travel who booked the

Dole Plantation and Maze

To date, nobody has been reported missing inside, but the Dole Plantation Maze of hedges northwest of Honolulu is a challenge. Plan on spending up to an hour in there if you want to wonder through.

Hawaii Vacation Connection E 311

Just back from Maui we finish discussing our experience and also do a mini restaurant review about Capiche? We just loved it there and the food was magnificent. We also begin our series of fine dining restaurants beginning with Oahu.  On the other end of the spectrum, we answer one of the weirdest questions we’ve ever received about Spam, the popular luncheon meat which has become a staple for folks here in Hawaii.

We give some shout outs today to folks in our live Ustream and as we do on every podcast,  go over some great packages which have been booked in the last 24 to 48 hours.

Experiencing the Aqua Diamond Wailea Resort on Maui

Today we do our show live from  Aqua Diamond Wailea Resort and Spa on Maui.  We had a great time at this resort and talk about our experience as well as answers some questions from twitter friends and podcast listeners.  Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get a more main camera operating so we had to use the simple web cam built in to the Macintosh.  We were able to roll tape and we’ll get that up just as soon as possible. The show worked out pretty good anyway and gave the show a little bit of a different perspective, kinda up close and personal.

As usual, we go over packages that have been booked in the last 24 to 48 hours which gives us the chance to welcome new customers to our Ohana (Family) and also lets us congratulate all of the fine Hawaii-Aloha.com agents that put these packages together.
