Chantal Prunier reports: “Yesterday I went deep in Waipi’o Valley to seven falls cascading into each other. What a delight! No wonder the Hawaiians were able to keep their future king Kamehameha happy in hiding here.”

Aloha In Person, Aloha Away

Your sad editor has flown reluctantly away from the Big Island. That’s physically speaking. My heart is still there although my body is on the mainland. But virtually, I’m all yours.
