It is, however, not native to Hawaii. It is native to tropical and subtropical America. The flowers are found in colors of white, yellow, pink, red, and multiple pastels. In Hawaii one of the best places to view plumeria is at the Koko Crater Botanical Garden - a 60-acre basin inside Koko Crater on the eastern end of the island of Oahu. These plumeria photos are made available by Dr. Kent Bridges, Associate Professor of Botany, at the University of Hawaii. View the photos... Friday January 20, 2006 | permalink You Won't See This Sign at Home! This certainly isn't a sign that you've ever seen near your home or, in fact, anywhere else in the world. As reported in Monday's Maui News, state and federal agencies are posting new warning signs at harbors and boat ramps in Hawaii. They are doing this out of fear that more boating traffic increases the potential for collisions with humpback whales during the winter whale season. View a larger version of the sign and read the entire article in the Maui News. Read more... Wednesday January 18, 2006 | permalink Atlantis Submarine Tour Maui Since I had just experienced the Atlantis Submarine Tour on Oahu in May of 2005, I was excited when I received an invitation to experience their Maui Submarine Tour when we were on Maui in November 2005. Having thoroughly enjoyed the tour on Oahu, I was expecting that I would also enjoy the Maui tour, but I didn't expect that I'd really enjoy it as much, if not more than the tour on Oahu.

Wednesday January 11, 2006 | permalink Ameniti Luxury Travel Club - No Thanks Once again, United Airlines is sending Mileage Plus members an invitation to join its Ameniti Travel Club.

Tuesday January 10, 2006 | permalink Sheraton Maui Resort Special Packages for 2006 The Sheraton Maui Resort has announced their special packages for 2006. The Sheraton Maui is my personal favorite of the many fine Kaanapali Beach hotels and resorts. It's a top notch resort with a great staff and is certainly not hurt by its prime location at at the north end of Kaanapali Beach near Pu'u Keka'a, the famous Black Rock where the beach is the widest and the swimming and snorkeling are superb. This location gives Sheraton guests a unique sense of privacy. You never feel that you are nestled into an area with many other condominiums, hotels and resorts. Take a look at these specials for 2006. Sunday January 08, 2006 | permalink Star of Honolulu Announces Five-Star Winter Menu Hawaii's premier cruise ship, the Star of Honolulu, offers an all-new seven-course Winter-inspired menu from January through March on its Five Star Sunset Dining Cruise. My wife and I have dined on the Star of Honolulu and enjoyed their five-star sunset dinner cruise. It's definitely something I'd recommend for anyone in Honolulu or Waikiki this winter. Read more... Friday January 06, 2006 | permalink Oahu is Home to More Than 125 Beaches Beaches on Oahu offer more than sunbathing and people watching on powder white sand in the embrace of warm Hawaiian sun rays. With more than 125 beaches on Oahu from which to choose, from the powerful, pounding winter waves of the North Shore to the gentle shore break of Waikiki, there is a beach on Oahu that fits every taste from a sunbathing visitor to the more athletic windsurfer.

Hawaiian City Garden

.:::BOTANICAL GARDEN CITY of the North Mayor urges the world to continue environmental advocacy By: William Jun Garcia SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union-City Mayor Mary Jane C. Ortega urged the citizenry to continue its awareness on environmental concerns to avert impending disasters. The Mayor, who was invited by the 1,200-members of the Global Advisory Council for Mayors in Ottawa, Canada last week, said that a continued promotion on our environment would help the world delay the greenhouse effect on the aftermath of a global warming or an irregular climate change. She warned that a continued promotion and the prevention of an unabated abuse and degradation of the environment would also slow down the effects of ice or glacial melting on our oceans and the eventual sea-level rise and atmospheric problems due to solar radiation and pollution on man. The Mayor, who is internationally recognized for including in her governance a strict implementation, protection and preservation of environment and clean air and also addressing its concerns, has initiated the establishment of a sanitary landfill, soon-to-be converted into an engineered landfill in Barangay Mameltac. She likewise initiated for the City Council, through Vice Mayor Bernardo Nardi Valero, to enact and approve a city ordinance, mandating public utility tricycle engines to be converted from two to four strokes to minimize smog emission that pollute the air. These programs are one reason why she was the only Asian invited to speak among 14 mayors from all over the world during the conference. She was also considered as the spokesperson for a developing city from a developing country. She also added that climate change could not be stopped rather it has just started as manifested by the unusual strong hurricanes, series of earthquakes and strong tsunamis happening throughout world. These disasters were earlier predicted by experts to happen 75 years (year 2080) from now but are now ironically occurring according to the Mayor. Among the attendants in the said conference were mayors or representatives from local government units of Seattle, Wash.; Kyoto, Japan; Madagascar; Bonn, Germany; New Zealand; European Union members of Parliament; a minister from Australia; and senators of Canada. Meanwhile, from Ottawa, Mayor Ortega was also able to attend the Christmas Party for children rendered by 20 Filipino- Canadian residents who are natives of San Fernando City headed by its president, Albert Floresca, whose wife is the niece of La Union Governor Victor F. Ortega.
