Tropic Hawaiian

hawaiiantropic HISTORY The heart and soul of Hawaiian Tropic is first and foremost about Hawaii. It embodies the Hawaiian "Aloha Spirit". Hawaiian Tropic calls to mind the lush vegetation, the tropical aromas,and the exotic beaches of the Hawaiian landscape. More importantly, it is a state of mind that is rooted in the deep passion that all people possess for the beach lifestyle. Hawaiian Tropic represents all outdoor recreational activities that include: surfing, volleyball, kayaking, boogie boarding, even Nascar and Formula I,as well as that age old sport of "working on the perfect tan". Hawaiian Tropic is a lifestyle brand that is very much about: The Ultimate Beach Party, Spring Break and Beauty Pageants. Hawaiian Tropic believes strongly in innovation and quality, and prides itself on providing excellent customer service. After having spent much of his teen years looking for that right suntan product that would shield his fair skin,Ron Rice decided to manufacture his own out of his garage. Rumor has it that Ron sold his first bottle of Hawaiian Tropic the same day that America launched the first moon mission in July, 1969. One could say it was "one small step for Ron, one giant leap for Hawaiian Tropic", because by the year 2003, Hawaiian Tropic had achieved the following: One of the top three leaders in the sun care industry. Overall brand awareness at 90%. MILESTONES In 1970, Hawaiian Tropic became the official sponsor of Spring Break.Today, over 30 years later, Hawaiian Tropic remains a dominant presence,premiering the annual ritual of Spring Break with spokes-models,large visuals and banners, and sample distribution. In 1983, Hawaiian Tropic hosted its first Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Pageant.Today, over 20,000 young women participate in these pageants with majorinternational coverage by television and radio, including specialsegments on the E! network. Over 1400 pageant events are held worldwideeach year with celebrity judges and guest appearances. In 1985, Hawaiian Tropic signed an exclusive sun care product relationship with"Six Flags" water theme park. Today, Hawaiian Tropic has more exclusive water parkrelationships than any other national brand, reaching over 50 million people.These parks include "Wet and Wild" in California, Las Vegas and Florida, as well as "Splish Splash",the only water park on Long Island, and of course "Big Kahuna's" in Florida. In 1997, Hawaiian Tropic launched its corporate web site, offering product information,suncare tips, as well as the sale of promotional products. Today, the site boasts over 19 millionhits per month, as well as up-to-date information on all promotional events.

If you have ever been then you would know EXACTLY what to expect - inexpensive, tasty and plentiful portions of Asian inspired dishes. YUM! Posted by Anonymous on 08/17/2005 Ordered Delivery The food was good and the price was great... Posted by ed on 07/06/2005 Just fair Ate at this location july 3. Mediocre at best. This is just a fast food restaurant. Posted by Boy Bunny on 07/05/2005 Paradise Pig Out Don't let the fast food decor fool you--the food is delicious AND cheap! I had the kahlua and lau lau combo--any restaurant that allows you to double up on pork is all right in my book. It was served with rice AND macaroni salad--two carbs instead of just one! Along with the usual ketchup, mustard, and relish, there was a very good Vietnamese hot sauce on the condiment stand. Lest you think I'm totally unhealth conscious, the taro leafs and cabbage that came with the kahlua and lau lau were tender and flavorful. The staff was friendly, helpful, and genuinely concerned about my dining experience. Posted by islander on 06/18/2005 Gotta love it Finally, authentic tasting island style bbq...cheap and does the trick. Having been away from the islands for a while, it's nice to know that I can still get a taste of home here in NYC. BBQ chicken, kalbi and mac salad just as I remember it. I was surprised they even had spam musubi! Read More ...

Molokai. Shaped somewhat like

Kalaupapa, Molokai, Hawaii - Father Damien. Some 2,200 miles (3540km) southwest of California, in the heart of the Hawaiian islands, is the island of Molokai. Shaped somewhat like a fish (the locals say a shark) with its head facing east, its tail in the west and a dorsal fin rising from its back on the north shore. That dorsal fin is the nearly flat, ten-square-mile (25.9 sq km) Makanalua Peninsula which juts into the Pacific below the world's highest sea cliffs. A place of stunning beauty, it's been blessed by nature's grandeur, and cursed by humanity's ignorance and fear. While this area is generally referred to as Kalaupapa, in fact, Makanalua Peninsula is divided into three districts: The Kalawao district on the eastern edge; Kalaupapa and the settlement of Kalaupapa to the west; with Makanalua in the center. Inhabited from about 650 AD, the Hawaiians fished the rough surrounding ocean by outrigger canoe with nets and spears for over 1200 years . They also farmed the land, coaxing sweet potatoes, onions and taro from the harsh volcanic soil. With the vines of the sweet potato, their main vegetable, they fed their pigs, which in turn they used to barter with other villagers in the eastern valleys. While the peninsula was not largely settled, it was traveled much and used extensively. The entire area is divided and subdivided by low rock walls that continue for mile after mile, creating thousands of small lots of every imaginable shape. There is no written history of the people who built them; historians theorize that they were constructed as pens for raising pigs, as windbreaks for growing crops and possibly as property boundaries and land divisions. The early Hawaiians built fishing shrines called heiau as places to make offerings for their safety while fishing in the rough waters that surrounded the peninsula. These heiau were platforms built of stone in circular and square shapes. Some of their surfaces are filled with coral, while others have elaborate enclosures lined with flat rocks on which offerings of fish or shells were placed. Today, the trail from Topside Molokai to Kalaupapa is traveled by mule, by hikers, and on foot by some of the workers at the settlement. Hugging the nearly perpendicular cliffs, the trail is over three miles (5km) long and descends 1,600 feet (488m) to the peninsula. Along its course are 26 switchbacks that corkscrew in and out of canyons and ravines. There is also a small airstrip at the northern edge of the peninsula, used daily to bring in food, supplies and visitors. Once a year in the summer, when the seas are calm, a barge from Honolulu anchors at Kalaupapa, delivering thousands of pounds of rice, cases of beer, drums of gasoline and supplies to stock the grocery store and hospital. More Kalaupapa photos . Kalaupapa's reputation as a leprosy colony is well-known. Hansen's disease, the proper term for leprosy, is believed to have spread to Hawaii from China. The first documented case of leprosy occurred in 1848. Its rapid spread and unknown cure precipitated the urgent need for complete and total isolation. Surrounded on three sides by the Pacific ocean and cut off from the rest of Molokai by 1600-foot (488m) sea cliffs, Kalaupapa provided the environment. In early 1866, the first leprosy victims were shipped to Kalaupapa and existed for 7 years before Father Damien arrived. The area was void of all amenities. No buildings, shelters nor potable water were available. These first arrivals dwelled in rock enclosures, caves, and in the most rudimentary shacks, built of sticks and dried leaves. Taken after Damien had constructed most of the houses seen here, this photo shows the stark, barren peninsula and settlement at Kalawao in the 1880s. Folklore and oral histories recall some of the horrors: the leprosy victims, arriving by ship, were sometimes told to jump overboard and swim for their lives. Occasionally a strong rope was run from the anchored ship to the shore, and they pulled themselves painfully through the high, salty waves, with legs and feet dangling below like bait on a fishing line. The ship's crew would then throw into the water whatever supplies had been sent, relying on currents to carry them ashore or the exiles swimming to retrieve them. In 1873, Father Damien deVeuster, aged 33, arrived at Kalaupapa. A Catholic missionary priest from Belgium, he served the leprosy patients at Kalaupapa until his death. A most dedicated and driven man, Father Damien did more than simply administer the faith: he built homes, churches and coffins; arranged for medical services and funding from Honolulu, and became a parent to his diseased wards. Shown here in a rare pencil sketch from December, 1888, Damien contracted the disease, and after 16 years of selfless service, died in 1889. In 1886, Brother Joseph Dutton arrived at Kalaupapa to assist Father Damien. Dutton, an energetic and dedicated missionary priest, assumed many of the duties Damien was unable to perform as his leprosy progressed. Mother Marianne, another revered servant, devoted 29 years on the peninsula as an administrator, nurse and educator. She spent her life on the go, even as her age climbed well into the seventies. She died in 1918. In 1977, Pope Paul VI declared Father Damien to be venerable, the first of three steps that lead to sainthood. Pope John Paul II declared Damien blessed in 1995, the second step before canonization as a saint. With the advent of sulfone drugs in the 1940s, the disease was put in remission and the sufferers are no longer contagious. The fewer than 100 former patients remaining on the peninsula are free to travel or relocate elsewhere, but most have chosen to remain where they have lived for so long. The few cars on the peninsula travel at a top speed of five miles per hour, as there is nowhere to go and no reason to hurry. A broad smile and a friendly wave of the hand are commonplace and integral to the lifestyle. At Kalaupapa are the administration building, post office, book store, fire station, never-used jail and of course the hospital which, considering the size of the population, is one of the best staffed and equipped in Hawaii. In the center of the village stands the large town meeting hall, with a big blackboard nailed on its front and some chalk hanging nearby, just in case a message for someone needs to be written. While Kalaupapa is now a National Historic Site, it is also the home of the few former patients who chose to remain there. So access, is by law, strictly regulated. Unless you are invited by one of the residents, you must take the tour offered by Damien Tours of Kalaupapa (about $40.00). The peninsula can be reached by air or by way of the trail from upper Molokai. Visitors can hike in and out or ride one of the Molokai mules. Visitors must be at least 16 years old.
