As our #1 concern is to get you a place to stay on Maui. Few places on earth are as blessed as Maui, Hawaii, a tropical island of legendary beauty and rich history. Even within the Hawaiian islands it's referred to as "Maui No Ka Oi" or Maui is the best. As a complement to its ideal climate, Maui has a variety of spectacular natural wonders. World-famous beaches, lush Iao Valley, Haleakala volcano, Molokini crater-island, pastoral Upcountry, the tropical Hana coast and Seven Pools are just a few of the fascinating sights. The sports enthusiast will find great opportunities for championship golf, tennis, windsurfing, surfing, scuba, snorkeling, biking, hiking, and deep sea fishing. Other popular activities include shopping in the old whaling port of Lahaina, whale watching and dining in Maui's many fine restaurants. You might say it just doesn't get any better than this! Did you know Ka'anapali was selected as the nation's best beach? Having a resort as its backdrop didn't stop Dr. Beach from choosing Ka'anapali as the best beach in the nation, the ninth time a Hawai'i strand has won that honor. Dr. Beach, coastal expert Stephen Leatherman, chose Po'ipu Beach on Kaua'i two years ago, and like Po'ipu, Maui's Ka'anapali is a resort beach. Leatherman doesn't mind some hotels, as long as the beach itself isn't too crowded by them. Folks at the Ka'anapali hotels said they're pleased, but not surprised at the designation. "The connectivity down from Black Rock all the way to Canoe Beach, softsand, a wide beach, both tranquil water for snorkeling and surf for surfing andboogie boarding — we think that it's one of the great beaches," saidBarry Lewin, general manager of the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, whichanchors the southern end of the beach. When Dr. Beach, a meteorologist and professor at Florida International University in Miami, selects a shoreline as his favorite for the year, it's taken out of the running permanently, but Hawai'i does not appear to be running short. Three other Hawaiian beaches made it into Leatherman's top 10 this year: Hanalei on Kaua'i, Makalawena on Hawai'i and Hanauma on O'ahu. Previous Hawai'i winners were Po'ipu in 2001, Mauna Kea Beach in 2000, Wailea in 1999, Kailua Beach in 1998, Hulopo'e in 1997, Lanikai in 1996, Hapuna in 1993 and Kapalua in 1991.

"WAIKIKI" BEACH "Spouting Water" 2909 Kalakaua Avenue (Outrigger CanoeClub) to 2005 Kalia Road (Kahanamoku Lagoon) One thinks of Hawai`i and their thoughts will usuallyinclude an image of Waikiki Beach. This is basically a two milestretch of coast fronted by hotels and tourism related facilitiesand the very beautiful Kapiolani Park. Waikiki Beach is usually crowded but is a very nice areawhere one can swim, canoe, surf and snorkel. The areas towardsDiamond Head are near to the expansive picnic and recreationalfacilities, including those of Kapiolani Park. Kristina Malsberger writes, "As I threadmy way through a maze of umbrellas, sand castles, and bronzebodies, it seems that some things have hardly changed since thedays when Bing Crosby crooned 'Sweet Leilani' here in the1937 film 'Waikiki Wedding.' Yes, the surfboards andswimsuits have shrunk and the high-rise forest has grown, butfolks still come here for the same reasons as always: to soak upthe tropical sunshine, to splash around in the surf, and toengage in that unique Waikiki tradition — the outriggercanoe ride." Newcomers should take special care whenusing personal flotation devices (e.g., inflatable mattresses,styrofoam swim boards, et al.) — they are just nosubstitute for good swimming technique. Be wary of runawaysurfboards - they can be dangerous. Ask the lifeguards where thedeep holes are. Stay off of the breakwater and sea walls; theyare slippery and you can get pounded and hurt - especially duringhigh surf.

The seaside town of Lahaina , however, may be the islands notable exception. From rowdy sailors during the whaling era to modern-day stage productions, Lahaina has always been a bustling center of activity. In Lahaina, the fun heats up when the sun goes down. Front Street, the towns main thoroughfare, is a great place to catch the sunset, grab a bite to eat, enjoy an ice-cold brew or simply "kick back" and watch the colorful parade of people passing by. Front Street is also a window shoppers paradise, with more than a hundred shops and galleries to explore. Whats more, every Friday is "Art Night" in Lahaina, where visitors can take in special gallery shows, artist demonstrations, refreshments and entertainment. Lahaina has been dubbed "The Art Capital of the Pacific" because it has more art galleries per capita than any other town in America. A free map of participating galleries is available at the Lahaina Visitor Center. Best of all, everythings free! One of the hottest shows in all of Maui is Ulalena , a 75-minute musical extravaganza performed five nights a week at the 684-seat Maui Theatre. Since its debut in the summer of 1999, Ulalena has garnered numerous awards, including "Best Show of the Year" at the statewide Hawaii Music Awards. National Geographic Traveler describes the show as "a Cirque du Soleil-like" presentation of Hawaiian mythology and magic that weaves lighting, dance, costume and music into an entertaining theatrical experience." Be sure to check out Mauis special events calendar to preview the latest Lahaina happenings. Some of the towns more lively annual events include the Chinese New Year Celebration (January or February), Old-Fashioned Fourth of July fireworks show, A Taste of Lahaina (September), Aloha Festivals Hoolaulea (October) and Holiday Lighting of the Banyan Tree (December). And of course, Lahaina doesnt get any wilder than on October 31st, when more than 30,000 revelers descend on Front Street to take part in "Halloween in Lahaina." This Mardi Gras-style event features a childrens costume parade, food booths, games, crafts, live music and dancing. Its the biggest (and wildest) party on Maui. ©2003-2004 Media-HI, Inc.

Hawaii Volcano Observatory: (808)

Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano is beginning to stir, new data reveal :10/02 more search options 10/14/02 CONTACT: Mark Shwartz, News Service: (650) 723-9296, mshwartz@stanford.edu COMMENT: Paul Segall, Geophysics: (650) 725-7241, segall@stanford.edu Peter Cervelli, Hawaii Volcano Observatory: (808) 967-8814, pcervelli@usgs.gov EDITORS: For photos and graphics of Mauna Loa volcano, visit the Hawaii Volcano Observatory website at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov. Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano is beginning to stir, new data reveal Mauna Loa Hawaii's biggest and potentially most destructive volcano is showing signs of life again nearly two decades after its last eruption. Recent geophysical data collected on the surface of the 13,500-foot volcano revealed that Mauna Loa's summit caldera has begun to swell and stretch at a rate of 2 to 2.5 inches a year, according to scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Stanford University. Surface inflation can be a precursor of a volcanic eruption, the scientists warn. "Inflation means that magma is accumulating below the surface, but at this point we don't have the kinds of sophisticated models that would be required to tell us if or when an eruption will occur," said Paul Segall, a professor of geophysics at Stanford who has collaborated with USGS volcanologists in Hawaii since 1990. Located on the Big Island of Hawaii, Mauna Loa or "Long Mountain" in Hawaiian is the largest volcano in the world. Its last eruption occurred in spring 1984 a violent three-week event that produced fast-moving lava flows that came within 4 miles of the city of Hilo. The volcano has remained silent for the past 18 years in sharp contrast to its neighbor, Kilauea, which has been erupting continuously since January 1983. "After the 1984 eruption, Mauna Loa went through nearly a decade of inflation, followed by almost 10 years of deflation," said Peter Cervelli, a geophysicist with the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO). The deflationary period abruptly ended around Mother's Day, May 12, when HVO's global positioning system (GPS) network revealed that the summit had begun to rise and swell. May 12 was the same day that Kilauea's most recent active lava flow began a discovery that scientists say is far from coincidental. "This clearly indicates that there is a connection between the two magma systems," Segall noted. "That's the great thing about Hawaii: It's so incredibly active that just about every year we learn something new." GPS stations HVO maintains several GPS stations on Mauna Loa that continuously record their positions using information transmitted from orbiting satellites. The around-the-clock satellite data allow scientists to measure how far the GPS stations have moved and thus determine if the volcano is expanding or contracting. Cervelli, who earned his doctorate at Stanford last year, said the university has loaned HVO eight additional GPS stations to monitor the volcano. Because of the remote mountaintop location, each instrument can cost up to $20,000 to install. Segall's research on the Big Island is funded through a National Science Foundation grant. "Until recently, Stanford's research in Hawaii has been primarily on Kilauea, but when Mauna Loa started to show renewed activity in late spring, Paul [Segall] agreed to lend us four of his continuous GPS receivers," Cervelli explained. "We are holding four more Stanford instruments in reserve to be deployed as conditions warrant." Cervelli and his USGS colleagues will work with Segall to interpret the new GPS data as they become available. "We see this as an opportunity to watch the volcano evolve through an entire eruptive period from early awakening to actual eruption," Cervelli said. "If the recent activity does culminate in an eruption, this will be the first time that a Mauna Loa eruption is imaged with precise clarity. Without Stanford's help, this would not be possible." History of destruction Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times since 1843, spewing out enough lava to cover 40 percent of the Big Island. The most destructive eruption in recorded history occurred in 1950, when lava raced to the sea at speeds up to 5 miles an hour destroying homes, businesses, roads and ranches along the way. Despite the volcano's destructive potential, the USGS estimates that more than $2.3 billion has been invested in new construction along Mauna Loa's slopes since the 1984 eruption. "Mauna Loa is capable of erupting huge volumes of lava in a relatively short period of time, and the flows can reach great distances," Segall observed. "It presents a more significant safety hazard than Kilauea." Cervelli echoed that concern: "There has been a substantial amount of development on what has historically been the most hazardous part of Mauna Loa its southwest rift zone above South Point. Though lava flows can reach Hilo on the eastern side of the island and the Gold Coast resorts of Kona in the west, flows are much more likely to inundate the subdivisions in the southwest rift zone and possibly without much warning." Increased earthquake activity is another indication that magma is rising to the surface. "Seismicity does seem to be picking up," Cervelli noted, "but at this point we are not issuing a public warning. Instead, we are asking that the people of Hawaii remind themselves that they live among the world's most active volcanoes." -30- By Mark Shwartz
