And why wouldn’t they – they’re free to run wild over miles of open wilderness, explore tide pools teeming with exotic sea creatures, comb untracked beaches for treasures carried in by the sea, or learn to rope cattle with a real island ranch hand. And for junior astronomers, a trip to Molokai is truly an eye-opening experience – cloudless nights open to a brilliant blanket of stars unmarred by the glow of city lights. On Molokai, as is true throughout the Islands of Aloha, keiki (children) are treated with an extra measure of hospitality. The gentle nature of Molokai residents makes a one-on-one hula demonstration or lei-making lesson all the more unforgettable. : Hawaii's Whales : Interactive Hula Dancer : Molokai Family Events : Find Family Offers M EETINGS & C ONVENTIONS | T RAVEL T RADE R ESOURCES | M EDIA C OMMUNICATIONS Corporate Information | Contact Us | Privacy Policy | Terms & Conditions | ©2005 Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau

"A little way out of the way, but a lot out of the ordinary," on a secluded beach, with the freshest and best prepared fish. Here's a map to Mama's. Broke the Mouth ~ More Hilo Erstwhile UH English professor (mine), now editor of Honolulu magazine had this to say: "A new type of Hawaiian Food, created from products actually grown in the Islands. Broke the Mouth is on the cutting edge..." ~ John Heckathorn, Honolulu Magazine Mainland Hawaiian Restaurants: Portland, OR California: nô ka `oi - A Touch of Aloha , N.CA - Orange County , S.CA - Da Kine's , San Diego - Maui Beach Café , UCLA area - Punahele Island Grill , SF - San Francisco Eateries - San Francisco: Hal Kop's Listings Café Sistina , Honolulu Behind island cuisine and sushi, we love Italian (!). Perhaps, not entirely unlikely that two locals should love Italian. Isolated by northern Europe by the Alps, Italy is almost an island, with island warmth and ambience. Knowing friends took us here, and we discovered that great Italian is to be found in Hawai`i. Molto bene. Maui Restaurant Guides: mauimapp.com Dining Guide and Restaurant Review Maui Restaurant Guide Cyclist's Choices A listing by cyclists in Hawai`i with this droll disclaimer: [Note: These are personal views and do not necessarily represent the views of normal people. Proceed at your own risk.] `Ono Hawaiian Food , Honolulu A humble establishment with a gigantic reputation for `ono (delicious) Hawaiian food. You get to choose whether you want fresh poi or day-old (more fermentingly flavorful). We're still raving over the moist, humongous, and delicious laulau! Listen to the host's suggestions. They're right on. And he is sweet. Dining Guides: A Taste of Hawai`i Best of Hawai`i Celebrity Scenes Dining Places on O`ahu Dining with Hawai`i Visitors Guides Display Selected List Mo`o's and Lôlô's Guide Zagat's Survey Plate Lunch : Richard's Plate Lunch Critique , Oahu "The CLASSIC pastime in Hawaii is eating the plate lunch!

And how that boy loves his poi! mauimapp.com: Lû`au Kaukini's Lû`au , San Francisco Sam Choy's Restaurants Our favorite O`ahu restaurants. At Sam Choy, Diamond Head (more like Kapahulu), I recommend the Osso Bucco and Mom's Bread Pudding. Hô da `ono! d At Breakfast, Lunch and Crab, crab rules. Sam's motto: "Never trust a skinny chef. " We trust him implicity. Sam schmoozes with his guests, and we have found him to be: engagingly warm and charismatic. His fame, fortune and glory have not gone to his head; he's still a local boy with lots of Aloha. "When someone asks me 'What is Hawaii Regional Cuisine?' I tell them it's where East meets West in Hawaii", says Chef/Owner Sam Choy. I tell them: It's Sam's food. Kaimana Beach Hotel's Hau Tree Lânai , Waikîkî [wai KEE' KEE', meaning spouting water] Kaimana [kai mah' nah, a transliteration of Diamond] Breakfast is my favorite meal. Located at the far end of Waikîkî at the foot of Diamond Hill, on "one of the sweetest, little beaches," this is my most favorite restaurant to breakfast in Hawai`i. A ring of fried rice, heaped with stir-fried veggies, and topped with circles of Portuguese sausage and eggs of choiceka lani (heaven)!

Hawaiian music fans outside

HAWAIIAN MUSIC LYRICS -- LIST OF LINKS HAWAIIAN MUSIC LYRICS -- WEBSITES MELE.COM does not provide lyrics all requests will be directed to this page, with links to sites/businesses which provide lyrics (some also provide translation and chords) The first place to look for lyrics, is in the liner notes of every CD which includes the song (to find recordings of a specific song, click "Search" on the MELE.COM front page, and follow instructions given) Pa'a ka waha, nana ka maka; hana ka lima. Shut the mouth; observe with the eyes; work with the hands. (One learns by listening, observing and doing.) This was the traditional method for learning Hawaiian songs, as one sat near a musician as s/he played. Songs and tunings were passed down through generations of families -- from kupuna (elder) to keiki (child). Hawaiian songs were rarely (if ever) put in writing, not even the lyrics. Very few musicians in Hawai`i could read music, so this was how the songs were perpetuated. Even today, many of the "top" musicians in Hawai`i do not read sheet music...they learn the old way, or from listening to a particular song over and over (on tape or CD) and playing along until they feel ready to play the song in public. Hawaiian music fans outside the islands -- in their eagerness to learn the lyrics and translations of their favorite songs -- are often dismayed to find that they may, too, have to learn "the old way". While some Hawaiian CDs include this information in their liner notes, many do not. Harry's Music (O`ahu) for Hawaiian sheet music.
