    • The sea turtles are endangered, and bask on many of our beaches. Look, but don't touch or disturb. It's not uncommon to see these awesome creatures basking on the northshore, or swimming without a mission along the coasts of all our islands.

    • Hawaii (State of) - Red dirt everywhere

    • You may have noticed the "red" dirt we have all around the island ... the islanders are used to this by now. They LOVE it so much (NOT), they now manufacture clothing bearing this name "Red Dirt" ...
    ==> Red dirt stains EVERYTHING. If you get it on your shoes or white t-shirt (or any other clothes) ... I have the perfect laundering solution ...... (WRITE this down, so you don't forget ... pass it along to others also! )

    ROLL THE WHOLE ITEM IN RED DIRT, COVERING IT COMPLETELY, then launder as usual. You will never get the stain out anyhow, so why not just try to make the WHOLE item the same color!

    • Here's a photograph of Waimea Bay when the waves are coming in at 35 feet! Water was very rough, and tide was obviously very high, as was the disappointment of beached surfers! See photo of same beach on my intro page.

    • Don't take the "LOCK your Car" signs lightly! Most tourist areas are high theft areas, and as you may know by now, the thieves KNOW a rental car when they see one. Be sure to lock up items you won't need right away in the trunk or boot of your car BEFORE you get to your destination, that way anyone scoping out the area won't SEE you put away valuables, therefore may not target your vehicle.

    • Watch where you leave your car if it should break down! Rented, borrowed or owned ... car piranhas know no difference! My children laughed each time I told of a broken down car becoming skeletal in less than a week ... here is a partially gutted car just days after breakdown which left my children speechless! Location ... Kunia Road Hwy 750
