Morning In Volcano Village (09/04/09) : Aloha,
Morning arrived and we headed to the Inn at Volcano to have a great continental breakfast of Punalu'u sweet bread, fruits, and amazing Kona & Cinnamon coffee. We then drove to the store to get some water and we were going to call our friend Kreanna to let her know we were in town. When we arrived, Dale walked in and ran into Kreanna and her son. We hung out with them all morning!

ASL Hike #2: Manoa Falls (06/20/09) : Aloha,
We had our 2nd monthly ASL Hikers hike on Saturday. This time we decided to go to Manoa Falls and what a beautiful and muddy day for it. Only 3 of us were able to show up this time (Sharon, David & Dale). We began our hike just as the rain was stopping so the ground was a bit muddy. Manoa Falls is a short trail but we took our time and took us about 45 minutes to get to the falls. Once there we all had a lite lunch and chatted with various other people that were showing up. A 8-year-old boy by the name of Chase from California came up to us and introduced himself to us in ASL. Apparently his older brother taught him some ASL.  He didn't know a lot but it sure was fun anyways. Someone kept throwing there trash along the trail, so we picked up a lot of it along the way. All 3 of us had a great time and really hope that everyone can come for the next hike (keep an eye on Facebook - ASL Hikers - for more information).

Cleaning/Painting (10/10-10/15/09) : Aloha,
Here are some shots of our new place...mind you this is right in the middle of cleaning & painting so it looks worse than it turned out! Showed up on the property on 10/10 to find some people had gotten into a spat with the people upstairs and they had done a bit of damage to the area. DaBoyZ worked on cleaning it up. Next few pictures are of things we had to work on like marker on the wall and paint peeling. On one of our many trips to the new place we walked by the Tennent Art Foundation. The last group of pictures were taken after we finished painting. We later discovered we missed a spot on the door...see if you can spot the color difference in the last few pictures.

Misc Shots (09/24-09/25/09) : Aloha,
We were invited to the Hawai`i Premiere of Beautiful Son. The first 5 shots are from the opening ceremonies. A talented harpist was strumming her beautiful instrument while we enjoyed some pupu's.

Movie Synopsis:
In 2003, Hawai`i filmmakers Don & Julianne King realized something was wrong with their 3-year-old son, Beau. Around age 2 1/2, Beau started loosing his ability to speak, his coordination, and was becoming disconnected from the outside world. Determined to help Beau, his parents brought him to the best doctors in the U.S. and took along a video camera to document the results. Two months later, Beau was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

In BEAUTIFUL SON, Don and Julianne take us on their journey through the landscape of this debilitating neurological disorder as they attempt to recover Beau from autism. Along the way, through their research and personal interaction with various medical professionals, Don and Julianne come to believe the establishment has little to offer apart from advice of “good parenting” and behavioral therapy. Desperate to find help, they stumble upon a community of doctors and parents who are experimenting with alternative treatments and who are, they believe, successfully recovering some kids from autism.

BEAUTIFUL SON is the story of an illness reaching epidemic proportion, now affecting one in 150 children. And, it’s the story of a grass roots movement of parents and doctors who believe that vaccines, mercury and other toxins may be triggering some forms of autism and demanding research be done to help their children.

The 2 shots from 09/25/09 were taken in the Kaimuki area.

At the end of the Kalawahine Trail we connected with Pauoa Flats and went to the lookout. We hadn't been to this lookout in almost 4 years. It is just beautiful there and you can see through the Pali gap to Kane`ohe. The lookout is the end of Pauoa Flats trail (well the end of the official trail...there is another unofficial trail that takes you deeper into the mountains), so we turned around and headed down the trail towards the intersection of the Manoa Cliff Trail.

For our monthly ASL Hike we went to one of our favorite hikes....Pu`u Pia. This beautiful hike in back of Manoa Valley (the valley of rainbows). Lori and Dale were the first to arrive (David had to work). Dianne, Ryan, Will & Jamie arrived soon afterward and we all headed up the trail. Once we arrived to the halfway point we saw tons of strawberry guava all over and around the trail. Everyone began picking and eating the yummy fruity treats and we met several other hikers doing the same thing! At the end of the trail we even found some guava! We all had an awesome hike and are looking forward to the next hike at Lyon Arboretum.

After the beautiful hike on the Manoa Cliff Trail, we veered off onto Pu`u Ohia Trail. This trail takes you from the end of the Manoa Cliff trail through the bamboo forest to the top of Mt. Tantalus. The normal trail follows a Hawaiian Telephone service road, however near the green building is a trail through the bamboo that takes a fantastic route with some great views of Manoa Falls. It eventurally meets back up with the official Pu`u Ohia trail. Had another great hike up into the mountains behind our apartment. Can't wait to do this hike for an ASL Hike!! It's tough but sure everyone would enjoy it.

Pu'u Puai Overlook (09/06/09) : Aloha,
We jumped in the car after our dark walk through Thurston Lava Tube and made our way to the Pu'u Puai Overlook on the otherside of the Kilauea Iki Overlook. Pu'u Puai is a cinder cone that formed during the 1959 eruption at Kilauea Iki Crater. Pu'u Puai means "gushing hill." Gas leaving the magma propelled incandescent cinder and ash as high as 1,900 feet above the vent. Tradewinds blew the cinder and ash to the southwest, where it accumulated to form the cinder cone. With increasing distance to the southwest, the cinder and ash deposit gets thinner and the size of the volcanic particles gets smaller. Pu'u Puai parking area is on the rim of Kilauea Iki crater.

Last time we came to the Big Island (2006) we had the opportunity to see the lava spewing into the ocean, but we had to walk from within the park for about 3.5 miles (7 miles roundtrip). This time we entered from near Kalapana and only had to walk 3/4 mile. The viewing point was farther away from the trails end but the show was so much bigger this time!!! We were one of the first people there by after 3 1/2 hours it started to get really crowded by obnoxious and rude people, so we headed back to the car and drove into Pahoa for dinner at Ning's Thai Cuisine.

Kalapana (09/05/09) : Aloha,
After the tidepools we made our way to whatever was leftover of the town of Kalapana (Kalapana is a town and region in the Puna District on the Island of Hawai'i in the Hawaiian Islands. The area gained notoriety when the 1990 Kilauea lava flow from the Pu'u 'O'o vent destroyed and partly buried much of the Kalapana Gardens and nearby Royal Gardens subdivision. The lava flow that destroyed Kalapana erupted from the southeast rift zone of Kilauea. Along with the destruction of Kalapana were those of the nearby town of Kaimu and Kaimu Bay, both of which now lie buried beneath more than 50 feet of lava. The lava flow also created a new coastline). We walked out to the new black sand beach and to check out the new beautiful coconut grove!! You can see in the distance the lava flowing into the ocean (notice the billowing smoke in the background).

Kapoho Tide Pools (09/05/09) : Aloha,
After leaving the Lava Tree State Park we made our way to the beautiful Kapoho Tide Pools. This unusually large collection of tidepools and spring fed pools stretches almost a mile down the coast and extend up to 200 yards out into the ocean. However, the feature that makes this site most interesting is the fact that some of the pools are heated -- volcanically heated! Many locals have incorporated some of the smaller pools into their property to use as swimming pools and "hot" tubs. The warm, brackish water is usually very calm, relaxing, and rarely crowded. Beautiful coral, great swimming, tons to see!!

We hung out with them all morning!

Going to the Big Island (09/02-09/03/09) : Aloha,
We finally got a chance to get back to the Big Island after about 3 years. Thursday night we flew to Hilo, got a car, and drove up to Volcano Village and stayed at the Volcano Hale which is part of the Chalet Kilauea Collection. The Volcano Hale is a home that was built in 1914 and we rented the Elepaio room, a quaint room on the bottom floor of the home. The home had a shared sitting room, kitchen, living room, and bathroom. After checking in we took a moonlite walk to the end of Keonelehua Road. Their wasn't any city light pollution so we could bask in bright moonlight and beautiful collection of stars. Perfect night to the beginning of our vacation.

On the morning of the 21st, DaBoyZ went to the Neil Blaisdell Center (NBC) to help setup for the Made in Hawai'i Festival (MIHF). Dale made sure to get some shots of the booth just after setup, when it was exactly the way Deb wanted it to look. The next set is David's beautiful flower, the Blue Suede Shoes HIbiscus. That evening, DaBoyZ went back to the NBC and helped work the booth. Our "Created by DaBoyZ" cards did fairly well and our inventory needs to be restocked now. Hoku Zuttermeister was playing at the MIHF and we made sure to get a few videos of this talented performer (check YouTube later for an upload - http://www.youtube.com/alohalondon ). The short group of Aug 24th pictures consist of some more Blue Suede Shoes shots along with 3 pics of McKinley HS and a group shot of some worn out workers dropping the festival stuff back at the shop.

We chatted for a bit before heading out to the North Shore. We stopped at Three Tables and staked out a place kinda off from everyone else and jumped into the ocean for some great snorkeling.

As we came to the end of the trail it lead us down to a point where we found a memorial marker and just below that was this lookout point that was just amazing and you could see way back into Waimea Valley! While taking in the view we saw a Honu swimming in the water!!! Many people were walking along the beach totally clueless to the beautiful within the azure waters! Along the way home we stop at La'ie Point and caught some dramatic views of the east side of the island. We stopped at a few spots around the island but at He'eia State Park we were greeted by a herd of cats. It was a bit freaky...I felt like I was in the movie "The Birds" but with cats!!

ASL Hike #2: Manoa Falls (06/20/09) : Aloha,
We had our 2nd monthly ASL Hikers hike on Saturday. This time we decided to go to Manoa Falls and what a beautiful and muddy day for it. Only 3 of us were able to show up this time (Sharon, David & Dale). We began our hike just as the rain was stopping so the ground was a bit muddy. Manoa Falls is a short trail but we took our time and took us about 45 minutes to get to the falls. Once there we all had a lite lunch and chatted with various other people that were showing up. A 8-year-old boy by the name of Chase from California came up to us and introduced himself to us in ASL. Apparently his older brother taught him some ASL.  He didn't know a lot but it sure was fun anyways. Someone kept throwing there trash along the trail, so we picked up a lot of it along the way. All 3 of us had a great time and really hope that everyone can come for the next hike (keep an eye on Facebook - ASL Hikers - for more information).

Kalawahine Trail (06/07/09) : Aloha,
After climbing all the way to the top where Tantalus & Round Top meet, we jumped onto a trail we had never been on called Kalawahine Trail around 2:09 PM. Oh it was one of the most beautiful trails we have been on. It traverses through Pauoa Valley to Pauoa Flats and almost to the top of Mount Tantalus. Along the way we stopped in a beautiful area for a lite lunch. Once we started hiking and had gotten about a mile down the trail I realized I had forgotten my sunglasses. David watched my backpack as i ran along to find them. I looked all over the place and finally found them under this log and since it was getting dark it took me a bit to find the black sunglasses. We arrived at Pauoa Flats Trail and connected to Manoa Cliff Trail and connected back into Kalawahine Trail and came back onto Tantalus around 5:34 PM.

DaBoyZ took there love of American Sign Language (ASL) and hiking and made a group called "ASL Hikers" (look us up on Facebook if your interested in joining us for a hike). We did our debut hike atop Saint Louis Heights in the Wa'ahila Ridge Recreation Area. Six of us showed up for the first hike (Sharon, Trina, Benaline, Natasha, & DaBoyZ). Everyone had a great time despite all the accidents. Natasha fell several times and scraped up her knee, Trina crashed and burned, Benaline scraped her knee up, David got a cut, Dale has a huge bruise on his butt and hurt his hand, Sharon however was the only one not hurt. We slowly made our way down the mountain. When we arrived at the Wa'ahila Water supply towers we stopped for a lunch break. We continued on down to the Hawaiian Studies department at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa where we separated. Had a great time and can't wait for next month's hike!!

DaBoyZ decided to do another hike atop Saint Louis Heights. We followed this bike bath that we had never gone on before that took us back along the road and along the ridge nearest the homes of Saint Louis Heights. As we hiked down the mountain we came upon a homeless encampment and a dead end. We turned back around and started to hike back up the mountain. We came upon this open area as someone yelled out "HIKERS!". We thought we were being ambushed but quickly realized that it was just a bunch of people playing paintball in the woods. After we walked around them we came to this steep hill and took turns running down the hill. We then followed the gully down and connected back with the one of the numerous trails that drop you near the Hawaiian Studies department at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa!

Koko Crater Botanical Garden (05/01/09) : Aloha,
DaBoyZ went out to Koko Crater Botanical Garden to see the beautiful Plumeria grove there! Koko Crater Botanical Garden is a 60-acre basin inside the landmark Koko Crater on the eastern end of the island of O'ahu. The hot, dry climate here makes this garden the ideal location for the dryland collections of the Honolulu Botanical Gardens. The garden is still in the early stages of development, therefore, restroom facilities, drinking fountains and other visitor accommodations have not yet been constructed. 

Garden planting occupy the inner slopes and basin of Koko Crater. The visitor is first met with colorful collections of plumeria and bougainvillea cultivars in the outer crater. A two-mile loop trail leads visitors through a variety of dryland plant collections from Hawaii and around the world. Naturalized exotic kiawe and koa haole trees dominate the landscape along the trail between the cultivated collections. The four major collections arranged by geographical areas are: The Americas, Hawaii, Madagascar, & Africa. In addition to these geographical areas, other significant plant collections include: Cacti, Alluaudias, Sansevierias, Baobabs, Dryland Palms, Aloes, Euphorbias, & Adeniums. Of special note is the native grove of wiliwili trees (Erythrina sandwicensis) found in the Hawaiian section. This magnificent stand of native trees is protected by State law under the Exceptional Tree Act 105.

Koko Crater Botanical Garden is home to a collection of rare and beautiful plants from the tropical regions of the world. Some are rare or endangered in their native habitat. Long-range plans for Koko Crater Botanical Garden focus on the continued cultivation of rare and endangered dryland plants. Special emphasis will be given to the conservation of our highly endangered native Hawaiian flora. Basic xeriscape concepts will be used to support a drought-tolerant landscape in harmony with the surrounding environment.

Dale and Kim arrived at the zoo early enough to see the baby tigers. They've grown quite a bit so they don't look like babies until you compare them to momma, who is still bigger than them.

Next up was the Keiki Zoo which was full of all kinds of animals to touch and have fun with. It was full of koi, chickens, llamas, goats, sheep, and miniature ponies.

We got to use miss Judy's vehicle again while she was out of town (mahalo again Judy for helping us discover this new place) so we headed to Pupukea on the North Shore and found this new trail!!! We drove up Pupukea Road up to the Boy Scout Camp and parked there and then walked up to the trailhead. What an amazing area. Never have I seen the North Shore from this perspective and we were just blown away. It was a very beautiful area and we could only hear the birds chirping and the wind in the trees that's how quiet it was here! However, this was a tough hike. It really made us work hard but well worth it!!! Many beautiful orchids too.

After Bailey House we drove back up into 'Iao Valley. Roger & Joanna had never been to 'Iao Valley so we were really excited to show them the pristine beauty of the valley. We walked up to the lookout and then took a offshoot trail about 1 1/2 hours back into the valley. We came upon this clearing that we dubbed "The Garden of Eden". It was chock full of bananas, Lilikoi, Strawberry Guava, & Thimbleberry's. We feasted on several of the yummy fruits before turning around and coming back. Along the way we ran across some local hippies rolling a joint and we found out that they were trying to hike to Lahaina. Once back to the main trail we stopped and waded into the stream to cool our hot tired feet. What a beautiful hike.

Hau`ula Loop Trail (07/19/08) : Aloha,
Since the last 3 weeks have been so hectic and with the loss of my beloved friend we decided we needed to  escaped the concrete jungle and return to our roots in the forest!! David had me do some research & I looked up trails that were far away and that we might not be able to reach as easily by bus. I found 2 trails in Hau`ula (Hau`ula Loop Trail & Ma`akua Ridge Trail). We got some amazing views of a hidden & seemingly untouched valley, and some amazing shots of La'ie Point & the Windward coast!! Needless to say this went a long ways towards making us feel more sane & more in touch with each other & ourselves!!

Plenty of Honu (06/08/08) : Aloha,
Jas, David, & I all headed to the North Shore to watch the polo game. But once we got off the bus in Waialua and started to follow the beach the 3 miles to the playing field, we noticed just off in knee-deep water their was about 15-20 Honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle) eating in the shallows. It was really cute to watch them ebb and flow with the waves and then you would see their heads pop up for air and then they would dive back down and eat. While they were eating sometimes their  butts would float up and pop out on the surface. It was really amazing to watch them. So needless to say we were so awe-struck by nature's beauty we never made it to the polo game.

We had exit row seats with lots of great leg room but it was a double exit row and we were the 1st exit row and could not recline our seats. We also had a wonderful gentleman sitting next to us who was so drunk he could barely walk. He kept burping too and I thought "Oh god, he is going to puke on me." Thankfully we got into the air and he was able to use the restroom but came back to his seat smelling of vomit. We made the best of it and colored in our new Superman coloring book with Tinkerbell crayons (yea we got a bunch of looks but we were having fun and enjoying each other). David knows I am not a good flyer so he made sure to chat and keep me busy until I setteled into the flight.

WILD & Waikiki : March 7- I joined the E Ne`epapa Kakou: Chanting our History in Unison class for KCC's WILD day which was a great day of fun and informative professional development activities. The chant was facilitated by Palakiko Yagodich & Joe Yoshida. Chants of old tell us where we have been and where we are going. We chanted a mele ka`i and walked around Le`ahi while learning about her famous wahi pana (noted landmarks). Palakiko Yagodich taughted us a Hawaiian chant as we walked around Diamond Head. I had to leave early and go back but got lots of video. March 8-We meet up with Kim and Jaz at the park next to the Hilton for a BBQ.
