Hawaii Volcanoes National Park,

Hawaii Volcano, Volcano Hotels - Directory VolcanoHotels - Accommodations & Lodging at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park So you want to visit the Volcano? GREAT CHOICE!! Only one mile from the entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the tranquil Village of Volcano has a variety of Hotels, Vacation Houses, Inns, and B&Bs. Volcano is a romantic peaceful place where you get away from the noise, traffic, and city lights so commonly found elsewhere. You don't find any big hotels in Volcano, but instead smaller charming places that will bring you back in time when life seemed to be simpler. Relax, enjoy, and have a great time visiting this beautiful piece of paradise. All featured Hotels, Vacation Houses, Inns, and B&Bs meet our strict requirements to qualify as "Volcano Choice" Lodging. We know each owner / operator personally and they all take great pride in offering you a comfortable place to stay for your next Volcano vacation. Painting by local artist Kina Kam If you are not sure which place would best suit your needs, just let us know what you are looking for via email and we will be most happy to assist you in selecting the right place just for you. When it comes to fashion the local opinion is in general: "comfort is more important than fashion". Most days it is best to dress the "layered look" as it can be cold in the morning with temperature in the low 50s, and then as the day goes on temperatures generally climb to around the 70s. Due to being at an elevation of about 3800 feet, and our much cooler weather, there are no mosquitoes or other bugs in Volcano which are found at sea level. The weather can change very quickly from bright sunshine to tropical rain, and right back to bright sunshine. Even within our own town sometimes you can have rain on one side and sunshine on the other side of the Village, which is referred to as having "micro" climates. Living in Paradise, we take the weather as it comes. Without some rain once in a while we would not have the tropical lush Hapu'u forest that Volcano is known for. Cardinals, Hawaiian Hawks, Ohia Trees with bright Red Lehua Blossoms, Nene Goose, a Volcano, Steam Vents, Lava Tubes, and so much more. What more can we ask for? We love Volcano, and we hope you will enjoy your visit to the place we call "home" . VOLCANO HOUSE: There is only one hotel in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which is the Volcano House Hotel. The Volcano House does have the exclusive concession to operate a lodging facility in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. If you are interested in reservations at the Volcano House, please call them at 967-7321. Their website is www.volcanohousehotel.com . All the Bed and Breakfast places and vacation houses included in our directory are within 1-3 miles of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, so there are lots of wonderful places in the same general area as the Volcano House.

Hawaiian shirts (also known

American Textile History Museum - Exhibitions - Let’s Go Hawaiian! > Current Exhibitions > Past Exhibitions > Future Exhibitions January 31, 2004– June 20, 2004 Let’s Go Hawaiian! Hawaiian shirts (also known as Aloha shirts), have become the recognized symbol of this tropical paradise. The bold, colorful patterns illustrate the lifestyle, culture, flowers, foliage and heritage of the Hawaiian Islands. The American Textile History Museum presents a special exhibition, Let’s Go Hawaiian from January to June, 2004. It is a fanciful look at our fascination with Hawaii, its influence on mainstream culture, and a lighthearted exploration of the cult of the Hawaiian shirt. The exhibit tells the story of our enchantment with Waikiki through the exhibition of over 150 shirts from the 1930s through the 60s. The exhibit invites you to step off a cruise ship into a make-believe vacation in paradise. The illusion is supported by tourist memorabilia, maps, tropical scenery, and other artifacts representative of our notions of what Hawaii was and is. From early surfers, cruise ships and the burgeoning tourist trade to Elvis, the Beach Boys and Parrot Heads, the sounds, colors, styles and ethos of ‘Blue Hawaii’ will be resident at ATHM during the run of the special exhibition. Shirt #60 Long sleeves, spread collar Rayon, coconut buttons Green ground with yellow, orange, gray, and black Design: Whole and sliced pineapples Label: “MADE IN HAWAII FOR / The Liberty House / HONOLULU” The Liberty House was one of the oldest and most respected department stores in Hawaii, and they sold shirts produced by local island manufacturers. Shirt #66 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, wood buttons Yellow ground with white, blue, reddish brown Design: Vignettes of people, including hula dancers, ukulele players, surfers, King Kamehameha state; Hawaiian motifs, including flowers, leis, pineapples, palm trees; words, including “OAHU, OLOKAI, HAWAII, WAIKIKI, KAMEHAMEHA, HONOLULU, STATE OF HAWAII” Label: “Kuu-Ipo / MADE IN HAWAII” Shirt #126 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, coconut buttons Brown ground with yellow, blue, green, white, and gray Design: floral background with decorated ukuleles showing divers Label: “MADE IN CALIFORNIA / Westwood Casuals / KLEIN-NORTON CO.” Shirt #197 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, wood buttons Blue ground with orange, yellow, teal, green, brown, black Design: Vignettes of people, including woman with basket of fruit, woman with leis, hula dancers Label: “Kuu-Ipo / MADE IN HAWAII” Designed by Frank Macintosh for Matson Navigation Company, which operated cruise ships to Hawaii as early as the 1920s and 1930s. Macintosh created designs, including this one, that were originally used for menu covers on Matson ships and later adapted for shirts. Shirt #198 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, wood buttons Brown ground with gray, white, yellow, orange Design: Border print of fighting dragons and tigers Label: “Malihini / MADE IN / HAWAII” Shirt #213 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, plastic buttons Black ground with yellow, green, red Design: Leis No label Designed by John "Keoni" Meigs, one of the foremost Hawaiian shirt designers. Meigs created his own designs, as he did for this shirt, but he also adapted artwork created for other media, including Eugene Savage’s menu designs.
