Hawaii’s Statehood did not come easy

icon for podpress  Standard Podcast: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Now that it’s 2009, we can watch to see all the promotional and celebratory events that will take place in Hawaii during this year that marks the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood. Most of the celebrations will be happy ones, certainly worthy of your notice if you’re thinking of vacationing here during the year.  (The  third Friday in August is when Statehood Day is recognized.) But Hawaii’s statehood did not come easily, nor was it universally welcomed in the islands.  Here is a brief history of the process:

Visit An Almost-Secret Wonder on your Hawaii Vacation
Heiau (Hawaiian temples) are historic structures in Hawaii that rarely appear in travel brochures or receive any attention unless your hotel happens to be near one.  They were places of worship that were the centerpieces of Hawaiian religious beliefs.  From each heiau, the kahuna (priest) communicated with the gods and advised the ali’i (chiefs).  Heiau once existed throughout the Hawaiian Islands, but their use ceased with the abolishment of the kapu (taboo) system by Kamehameha II in 1819.

Study Indicates dissatisfaction among online travel shoppers
Only 46% of U.S. leisure travelers who shop for or buy travel online enjoy the experience, and a still smaller portion, 34%, believe the sites present choices clearly and meaningfully, according to Forrester Research data released last week.
 

Afternoon Lifecast

Here are some restaurant suggestions for breakfast or lunch on the ocean on Oahu (Waikiki)

  • Shorebird at the Outrigger Reef
  • House without a Key at Halekuani
  • Duke’s at the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach
  • Maui Tai Bar
  • Hyatt Snack Bar
     

My new Trek Bike is here and side tracked me for the whole day, can’t wait to ride this thing! Will be taking some time to ride it tomorrow

An ideal way to experience the natural wonders of Hawaii is on a bike, where you can take in the scenery while listening to the songs of birds and the wind whistling through the trees. Whether you prefer coastal treks with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, Biking Expeditions in Hawaii  a fun spin around the rim of a volcano, or a casual cruise through a tropical paradise, Hawaii biking has it all.

Daily and weekly guided biking tours are available on all of the Hawaiian Islands. From single track and dirt paths, to glassy smooth paved roads, there’s sure to be a biking tour that suits every cyclist in your group. If you’re feeling especially adventurous, you can rent a bike to explore the islands at your own pace.

Later on in the afternoon we hung out with filmaker Jon Rawlison who created this viral video. He is a filmmaker, cinematographer and editor based in Vancouver, Canada. Jon specializes in documentary and corporate video production. Since 2002 Jon has shot and produced a wide variety of projects in over 30 countries.
