Clear Bottom Kayaks Give New Meaning to “Ocean View”

Growing up in the 70’s, when my formidable years were at their peak, Peter Benchley’s Jaws cursed my psyche with a lifelong phobia of sharks. For me, and others like me who, for one reason or another, don’t snorkel, there’s an exciting alternative that just hit the shores of Maui!

ClearKayaksMaui.com has introduced a fleet of two-seater kayaks with wide, clear bottoms which combines the fun of kayaking with the thrill of snorkeling, making one of the most popular water sports a thousand times better!

So just read it and make your mama happy!

OAHU – Part 2
The view from our hotel, the Aston Waikiki Sunset, gave us a panoramic, unobstructed vista of Diamondhead which we watched come to life each morning as the sun rose behind it while we sipped our coffee on the lanai. Not a bad way to start the day!  This volcanic cone was known to early Hawaiians as Le’ahi.  It’s English name, Diamondhead, was given by English sailors in the 19th century who believed the crystals embedded in the rock were diamonds.

Steven Tyler, lead singer from Aerosmith, recently purchased a multi-million dollar home in Makena and the American Idol judge is often heard alluding to the island in comments from his perch on the show.  Now, I’m not saying you’ll run into him on the Wailea Beach Walk, but you never know!  For now, you can hum the famous 70’s rock and roll tune Walk This Way in your head as I take you on a photo tour along the beautiful Maui coastline of Wailea on the 1 ½ mile Wailea Beach Walk!

Hawaii’s Garden Isle – Kaua’i

Of the main Hawaiian Islands, Kaua’i  is the oldest and most removed, located the farthest north and west in the island chain.  Rugged and lush at the same time, its distinct landscapes and smaller population make it a favorite for nature-lovers and Hollywood movie directors searching for an exotic locale.
