Molokai does have to

Molokai, Hawaii - The Friendly Islands HAWAII MOLOKAI The Friendly Islands Withapproximately 50% of its population having native Hawaiian ancestry this island is themost traditional of the islands that are accessible to tourists. Untouched by high risedevelopments there are no traffic lights, shopping complexes or fast food chains. However, whatMolokai does have to offer is 260 miles of natural beauty framed by a necklace of ancientfish ponds along the southern shore. It has the world's highest sea cliffs rising anawesome 3,000 feet above the coastline, Hawaii's longest waterfall and also its largestwhite sand beach three miles long. Lacking modern entertainment venue, Molokai boastsnumerous cultural and family events and the locals guard their laid-back lifestyle withpride. In the heart ofthe island is Kaunakakai, a one street town lined with small family-run businesses whichhave changed little since the 1920s and resembles the set of an old Western movie. Earlierthis century, pineapples were shipped in their millions to Honolulu canneries from here. ProbablyMolokai's best known visitor attraction is Kalaupapa, site of the ministry of Belgiummissionary Father Damien De Veuster. Now a National Park, this five square mile peninsulawas once a place of exile for sufferers of leprosy. Separated from the rest of the islandby huge cliffs, it is reached by mounting a mule for the three mile ride down the 1,600foot cliff trail, or alternatively by one of the world's shortest flights (five minutes)departing from Molokai's main airport. It is also possible to hike the trail, but a permitis required. Other offeringsinclude sailing or kayaking around the coastline, deep sea fishing, playing golf, or ifyou are feeling active, hiking the Kamakou Preserve, a tropical rainforest - home to rarebirds and plants, insects, and land snails. Allow a full dayfor a round trip drive along the southern shore to Halawa Valley, where along the way youwill see quaint Churches, beautiful beaches and the largest concentration of ancient fishponds, some dating back to the 13th century. Ancient Hawaiianhistory says that the hula was created by the goddess Laka on the mountain range nearMaunaloa and today the major annual event on Molokai is the celebration of the birth ofthe hula. It is held on the third Saturday of May each year and features performances ofancient hula, traditional Hawaiian crafts and lectures and tours to significant historicalsites. Unspoiled andunhurried, Molokai is the perfect destination for families, those interested in culturaland eco-tourism, and those simply wanting to relax without feeling guilty.

Hawaiian Shirts & Dresses

Hawaiian Shirts and Hawaiian Dresses photo shoot with Sondra Barker and Lindsay Hayes - December 2003 Hawaiian Shirts & Dresses Photo Shoot - December 2003 To feature our newest Hawaiian shirts, dresses, tops and bottoms, we headed out to a beach located a few hundred yards away from downtown Honolulu. For the December 2003 photo shoot, we chose Sand Island. While most people associate surfing with the North Shore of Oahu, there are other surf spots all around the island. Sand Island is located at the mouth of Honolulu Harbor, Oahu's major shipping port. Sand Island is a popular camp site for those who wish to rough it in a tent a stone throws away from downtown. On a typical day, one can find people crabbing, fishing, surfing, and canoe paddling in the waters just off-shore. This photoshoot marks the debut of Sondra Barker and Lindsay Hayes for AlohaFunWear.com. Sondra is a University of Hawaii student and has quite a funny streak. Lindsay is a hair stylist in Honolulu and agreed to be in the photo shoot after some gentle coaxing. Dave Randall modeled Hawaiian shirts for us in our February 2002 photo shoot at Makapuu Beach. The pictures below depict some fun and not-so-serious moments of our photo shoot as we tried to photograph our latest Hawaiian shirts and especially our different styles of Hawaiian dresses. We also included our newest super soft rayon Hawaiian shirts and dresses as well as matching Hawaiian print capri pants and halter top.
