Coming Soon Aqua BAMBOO HOTEL, Waikiki The Aqua Bamboo Hotel is recently renovated from the former Marc Hotel . The address is 2425 Kuhio Ave ., local telephone 808-922-7777 . The Bamboo's lobby [with large plasma screen TV] and pool area are very lovely, and in our room there are a lot of great features, including custom designed furniture, crown moldings, quality carpet, glass brick shower stall, a double sink curved vanity, slatted wood bathroom ceiling. With an "official" summer rate of $145 for the VERY spacious room [ significantly cheaper on the internet ], it includes a kitchenette without a microwave, a sitting area with TV, sofa and desk, a separate bedroom that is behind a louvered wood shutter wall, three sliding glass doors for great ventilation, a lanai, and the room is located high enough above the street not to be too noisy. The problems here were just cosmetic, but I filled out an opinion form my third day, and the problems were fixed, so high marks go to the Bamboo for quick response. The rooms are a very good value, tastefully decorated in a kind of Metropolitan Home magazine sort of modern Asian theme, and for my needs [computer, photo equipment, paperwork, my need to cook], just about perfect.

Many people wonder if they'll "need" to rent a car on Oahu. Even though TheBus circles the island for a ridiculously low fare, you won't have access to all the side roads and back roads along the way. The cost of renting a car is so low, especially considering all the money you've already spent to get here, it makes no sense to not rent a car for at least a day. That's why we call our guides Driving & Discovering Hawaii books! Our Circle Island Driving Map shows you those places and features that we feel should not be missed if you only have one day to explore... although there are actually many more choices than what we have included here.

Hawaiian shirts based on

Different Styles of Hawaiian Shirts Different Types of Hawaiian Shirts There are different types of Hawaiian shirts based on the style or layout of the design. The most common ones are the basic all-over print and the scenic print. But there are variations within these types well as several other styles. We'll also cover some of the terminology used for Hawaiian shirts. All of our shirts are made in Hawaii with great care and with special attention to the details like matched pockets. Basic All-Over Print Hawaiian shirts: These shirts are probably the most common shirts. They are characterized by a repeating print that appears all over the fabric in a uniform manner as illustrated to the left. These shirts can be worn tucked in our out. These shirts typically do not match up perfectly to create a seamless image at the buttons. Scenic Print Hawaiian shirts: The scenic shirts are similar to the all-over print shirts in that the details in the print repeat in a uniform matter. The only difference is that these shirts contain scenery rather than just a simple repeating image of a flower or leaf. For some people, the scenic prints conjure up feelings of freedom and being on vacation. These shirts typically do not match up perfectly to create a seamless image at the buttons. Panel Hawaiian shirts: Some shirts have prints that are laid out in vertical panels, usually flowers and/or leaves. Like the basic all-over prints and the scenic prints, the panel designs have repeating patterns, but they repeat as you go from one side of the shirt to the other, rather than all over the shirt. These shirts typically do not match up perfectly to create a seamless image at the buttons. Border Hawaiian shirts: Shirts that have a design going across the shirt are called border Hawaiian shirts. Most of these shirts have a design in them that repeat every 10-12 inches as you go from one side of the shirt to the other. If the design happens to go across the bottom of the shirt, they may be called a Bottom Design Hawaiian shirt . The shirt illustrated at left is a border shirt that also happens to be a bottom print. Border Hawaiian shirts are meant to be worn untucked. Matched Prints: Some border or bottom print Hawaiian shirts have a seamless image at the buttons. The shirt to the left, unlike the one right above it, is perfectly matched at the buttons creating a seamless image as you go across the shirt. These shirt are harder to make and require greater skill and attention to detail. Many border print shirts do not match at the buttons like this one does. Engineered Hawaiian shirts: Engineered Hawaiian shirts have a seamless image from one side of the shirt to the other. The image usually repeats every 18 inches, which is greater than that of most border print shirts. The shirts also have a seamless image that is uninterrupted at the buttons. These shirts are usually the priciest shirts for any given quality of fabric because it requires the most fabric to manufacture. Engineered Hawaiian shirts are meant to be worn untucked to show off the entire design. Matched Pocket: The better Hawaiian shirts have a matched pocket. That means the pocket exactly matches the print on the shirt making it nearly invisible. In the picture to the left, you can see that the palm tree leaves on the pocket precisely line up with the leaves on the shirt. The result is a seamless image created by the pocket on the shirt. Creating matched pockets requires the use of more fabric and more precise cutting and sewing. All of our Hawaiian shirts come with a matched pocket. Return to Hawaiian Shirts Home Questions?

Just for you. `Ôlelo No`eau ~ Wise Sayings "I hele i kauhale, pa`a pû`olo i ka lima." "In going to the houses of others, carry a package in hand." To go empty-handed is an affront and embarrassment to both host and visitor. "He wahî pa`akai." "Just a packet of salt." Gifts that are grown or made by the giver are the best, as it is imbued with the giver's spirit, creating a "mystic bond". "E `ôpû ali`i." "Have a stomach like a chief." Fig., Be kind and generous as a chief. "`A`ohe lokomaika`i i nele i ke pâna`i." "No kind heart lacks a reward." The Hawaiian version of the Golden Rule. If one is treated well, generously, and hospitably, the courtesy to the same extent is to be returned.

Lit., going gift. `oloa A gift to a newborn child. pâlala / palaloa A gift or tax given to a chief at the birth of a child; to honor a child with a gift; house-warming feast. pani Final gift in a ho`okupu (gift-giving as a sign of honor and respect) ceremony. wainohia A gift of affection.

Rare, highly prized, worn by high chiefs. Take a look at Uncle Charlie's lei palaoa. kâhili Royal feather standards. Other gifts include canoes, adzes, bowls, pieces of kapa , and fishhooks. Valued intrinsic gifts include feelings of kôkua (helpfulness), lokomaika`i (kindliness), and aloha .

Mahalo Mahalo "Thank you", gratitude, appreciation. There is no precise equivalent of thank you in Hawaiian. As with Native Americans and other Polynesians, saying thank you upon receiving a gift was considered unnecessary and offensive. The unspoken grace and humility in receiving the gift "spoke" volumes. To give proper thanks for a gift, give a gift back, preferably of greater value. Each new exchange lends value, prestige and mana to all concerned, creating a positive spiraling effect generated by generosity and hospitality. Mahalo nui loa. Mahalo â nui. Thank you (not an exact translation) very much. `O wau nô me ka mahalo. I am, (yours) in gratitude. >> Hawaiian Greetings & Sentiments Sources: Pukui, Mary Kawena & Elbert, Samuel H., Hawaiian Dictionary , Revised & Enlarged Edition, University Of Hawai`i Press, Honolulu, 1986.

A popular vacation, Hawaii travel has much to offer visitors. The sandy beaches and beautiful ocean views are only part of what makes Hawaii an ideal destination. Hawaii offers a great local environment and is known for their friendly hospitality. There are some important things a traveler must know before hitting the beaches in Hawaii to make their stay the best it can be. Clothing: Hawaii has a casual atmosphere where comfort is the style. Clothing is usually loose and flowing. The climate varies throughout the islands, but this loose style will be welcomed and comfortable no matter where a traveler goes. Weather: Hawaii usually had highs in the 80s and night time lows in the 60s or 70s throughout the year. The sun can get very strong and sunscreen protection is recommended. Rain is not too big of a hassle on the islands as the rainiest time of year is from October to May and when it does rain it does not usually do so for long periods of time. Customs: Hawaiians are famous for their hospitality. Leis are given to visitors as a symbol of friendship. Hawaiian language is easy to pronounce as each syllable is simply sounded out. Visitors will see native language all over on signs and in shops. Restrooms are usually labeled Wahine for women and Kane for men. Rubber sandals are the most popular footwear and shoes of any kind should be removed upon entering a home. Warnings: As an island in the ocean, Hawaii faces some threats of severe weather. There is a system on the island that all travelers should be familiar with when visiting. Sirens in combination with radio and television warnings alert people to tsunamis, hurricanes, windstorms and other severe weather conditions. Directions given through the warning system should be followed. These helpful tips for Hawaii travel will help a person get the most out of their Hawaiian vacation. This beautiful US state offers a tropical and safe atmosphere that makes for a wonderful visit. About the author: Stephen Kreutzer is a freelance publisher based in Cupertino, California.
