Hawaii Travel

Hawaii Travel Guide - USA Tourist Hawaii The Hawaiian Islands are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean The Hawaiian Islands are located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean approximately 2,400 miles (4.000 km) southwest of California. You can go there only by airplane or boat. There are six major islands : Oahu, Maui, The Big Island of Hawaii, Kauai, Molokai and Lanai. Each island is unique and may feature live volcanoes, lava flows, tropical rain forests, beautiful beaches, sugar cane fields, pineapple plantations or historic sites. These tropical paradises attract about 7 million tourists each year, but most visitors only see one or two of the islands. You can easily travel between the islands by using one of the two domestic airlines: Aloha or Hawaiian. Flights are frequent and inexpensive. When landing at each airport, be sure to look for the racks of free coupon magazines. Each island has its own coupon book with lots of discounts. Oahu Coast Hawaii has a wonderful climate The climate is consistent and enjoyable. Temperatures seldom fall below 65 degrees or rise above 80 throughout the year. A pleasant breeze frequently cools the day. Don't forget your sunscreen, or sunblock! In such pleasant conditions, you can easily forget that the tropical sun causes severe sunburn to anyone not accustomed to it. Rainfall varies by location but can be an almost daily occurrence in the rain forests. The Aloha Spirit is prevalent everywhere Visitors are warmly welcomed and quickly enveloped by the "Aloha" spirit of Hawaii. Life is very informal on the islands and the dress is casual. Take lots of casual warm weather clothing and don't forget your swimwear! Men visiting the islands usually buy and wear "Aloha shirts" made of bright colorful fabrics. Women usually buy colorful muumuus (loose fitting comfortable dresses that can be worn anywhere in Hawaii). Go Hawaii Card: Unlimited Admission at over 25 Oahu Attractions and Tours PLUS!

Remember these two rules when surfing in Hawaii: 1. Never turn your back on the ocean! 2. If the natives are not in the water, stay out! When picking which islands to visit, consider the type of activities you enjoy. Some islands provide lots of nightlife and lots of sports or recreational opportunities. Others offer spectacular scenery or quiet beaches and solitude. Polynesian Hula Dancers Accommodations on the islands include plenty of hotels and motels in various price ranges. If you stay longer than a few days, there are also lots of condominiums and apartments for rent. Car rentals are readily available and are the best way to see all of the spectacular scenery on most of the islands. When visiting Oahu, long-term car rentals are not a good choice as parking is very limited in Honolulu. Tour busses and daily car rentals are much better options on Oahu. Hawaii has a strict quarantine Hawaii enforces a strict quarantine inspection upon arrival. You will not be allowed to take any fresh fruit, flowers, plants and certain meats into the state. Small sniffer dogs very efficiently search all luggage and passengers on arrival.

Hawaiian cruise, two nights

One-of-a-kind Hawaii Cruise Deals BudgetTravelOnline.com One-of-a-kind Hawaii Cruise Deals A week-long Hawaiian cruise, two nights in Honolulu, and roundtrip airfare all together costs just $1,399 from dozens of cities Reid Bramblett Wednesday, July 30, 2003; Perhaps you'd love to take a cruise--a week at sea with nothing to do but have fun. Then again, it might be nice for a few days just to veg on the beach--not just any beach, but Waikiki, sipping a mai tai under the palm trees. OK, do you'd like to do both--but not pay too much for either...oh, and get some cheap airfare thrown in to cover it all. Would you believe it actually can be done? United Airlines has a branch of the frequent flier program called Cruise4Miles (888-666-8120, cruise4miles.com/ )--you can earn miles by buying cruises, or redeem airlines miles earned for a cruise. Anyone who signs up for the frequent flyer program (which is free) can get in on these deals. The logistical (and economic) problem with most cruises is that airfare is rarely included in the base price, and can often be pretty expensive. Same goes for the land portion of your trip, by which I mean landlubbing lodgings. Most folks arrive in the port of embarkation a day or two before the ship sets sail, and/or sometimes choose not to return home until the day after the cruise puts into port, which means you're stuck finding a night's hotel accommodations on either end of your cruise. Well, with a cruise shop run by an airline, one that is also adept at putting together air/hotel packages, that problem is niftily solved. Everything but the kitchen sink And boy, how niftily. Rather than charge everyone from each gateway a different rate, the base price--which covers roundtrip airfare, the seven-day cruise, and two nights lodging in Honolulu before or after the trip--is $1,399 from dozens of cities on the East Coast, Midwest, and Southwest. (That in of itself is a bit unusual--a cheap Hawaii deal not from the West Coast). The list of possible departure cities includes Atlanta, Albuquerque, Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, Colorado Springs, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Grand Rapids, Houston, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, Orlando, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New Orleans, Newark, New York (LaGuardia), Omaha, Philadelphia, Tampa, and Washington, DC. The ship sails pretty much weekly from Sept 14 through Jan 4, but the cheapest rate--that $1,399--is available on the following sail dates: Oct 26, Nov 16, Dec 7, Dec 14, and Jan 4. You pick which end of the cruise you want to spend your two free nights in Honolulu at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani ( princess-kaiulani.com/ ) or a similar property. (Sadly, you cannot split them up for one before and one after. Ah, well.) The cruise itself aboard the Norwegian Star ( ncl.com/ ) has restaurants, 14 bars and lounges, swimming pool and gym, etc.--lasts seven days. You leave Honolulu at 8pm to arrive at Hilo by 6am. You have seven hours to enjoy the Big Island before steaming off again at 1pm to spend a day and a half at sea en route to a 9am docking just across the International Date Line on Fanning Island in the Republic of Kiribati (one island up from Christmas Island; a silly US law forces foreign-flagged ships to hit at least one foreign port before returning to US soil). At 3pm it's time to head back Hawaii-way, arriving 46 hours later at Kahului on Maui, where you hang for the entire afternoon. At 10pm you set of again to steam overnight toward Nawiliwili, where you arrive at 8am for an eight-hour day on Kauai. Then at 4pm it's back on the boat for the final leg back to Honolulu, where you get in at 7am. Once again, go to Cruise4Miles (888-666-8120, cruise4miles.com/ ) to learn more about this offer.

HOME | MODEL PORTFOLIOS | EVENTS SCHEDULE | EVENT PHOTOS | BECOME A MODEL | GO SHOPPING | MUCH, MUCH MORE... About Home | About Ron Rice | About Amy Raley Ron Rice (owner/founder of Hawaiian Tropic ) is the perfect example of the "American Dream". Born near Asheville, NC, Rice grew up in a "two-story log cabin" on his family owned mountain. An entrepreneur from the age of five, he sold everything from homemade Christmas wreaths to honey, grapes, apples and apple cider at his roadside stand. Rice remembers coming home from football practice each day and spending every spare minute with his family carrying rocks and mortar to the peak of their mountain to build their father's dream house. Sadly, his parents only lived in the home for one year before the State Transportation Dept. ordered the house torn down to make room for Highway 26. Uprooted, Clyde Rice died a year later at the age of 73. "How hard he worked at his job on that house - had a lasting impression on me," quotes Rice. After graduating from college, Rice moved first to Myrtle Beach, SC and then to Florida following the sun, working as a teacher and a lifeguard. When Rice created Hawaiian Tropic in a garbage can (right), in his garage, he was earning $4300 per year as a chemistry teacher/football coach at a local high school and a summertime lifeguard. He mixed batches of coconut oil, bananas, aloe avocados and other exotic ingredients and hired a crew of three pre-teens to fill bottles and keep track of the secret recipe. By sampling on the beach and utilizing lifeguard friends and fellow teachers to distribute the product, demand for the product grew throughout the United States. To increase notoriety and sales, Rice turned to something else he knew well - sports! We sponsored everything you could think of. We were in NASCAR racing for ten years and Paul Newman drove the winning "Hawaiian Tropic Porsche at the 24 Hours of LeMans, France. We were involved in hang-gliding, surfing, skydiving, water-skiing, snow skiing, tennis tournaments and on and on," says Rice. The name Hawaiian Tropic grew to worldwide renown. Next was the development of the Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Pageant . This annual search for the most beautiful woman in the world is now the second largest pageant in the world. Over 1,500 pageants are run in the US alone and pageants are held in 45 other countries to select the finalists. Miss Hawaiian Tropic International , along with other selected finalists and contestants, travel the globe participating in major media promotions. The team makes appearances at such events as charity functions, sportscar races, concerts, the Cannes Film Festival , music videos, MTV and in major film productions. They meet stars like Burt Reynolds on location for filming, Clint Eastwood at celebrity charity ski tournaments, and Julio Iglesias at concerts an on music video productions. The models also travel to exotic beach locations for the annual Hawaiian Tropic photo shoot. These photos are used for television, major fashion magazines worldwide, billboards and calendars. Today, Hawaiian Tropic is the second largest suncare manufacturer in the world, with twelve manufacturing plants on five continents, grossing over $200 million per year. The garbage can ( right) used to mix that first batch is silverplated and stands in Rice's living room as a reminder of the "early" days and Rice's tireless effort. Rice is single with daughter Sterling (left) . The Rice's enjoy the "good life," with an 80-foot sailing yacht lovingly named the Princess Sterling , and a $250,000 Lamborghini that was loaned to Ron's buddies, Burt and Hal for the movie "Cannonball Run." Rice's main residence in Daytona Beach is a $5.5 million palatial estate with four pools, a recording studio and a disco. In memory of his Dad, Ron had truck loads of granite brought down from North Carolina to provide the exterior for his home. Clyde Rice would have liked that.
