Hawaii Travel

Hawaii Travel Guide Hawaii Travel Guide Places of Power, History, Mystery & Magic Written & Illustrated by Ellie and William Crowe Exploring Lost Hawaii takes the reader on an intriguing pilgrimage into Hawaii's past. It skillfully weaves a collection of stories that are both beautiful yet dark, mysterious and supernatural, and always fascinating. In Exploring Lost Hawaii , Ellie Crowe and William Crowe have created a unique and informative guidebook that provides a tour of Hawaii never seen by most visitors - and even many locals. Covering all of the major Hawaiian Islands, this book takes an unexpected route away from that of the traditional guidebook. The result is a journey into the lands of the Hawaii of old - places of powerful alii, wise kahuna, sacred heiau, and mysterious menehune. Sites of historical and cultural significance on each island are described in detail, and directions are given to each site. Exploring Lost Hawaii will take you on a journey through a Hawaii that will not be easily forgotten. Excerpts from Columnist Bob Krauss' ReviewHonolulu Advertiser, Saturday April 28, 2001 "...a laudable purpose, introducing visitors to Hawaiian culture by viewing ancient sites...A good deal of research went into this book, and Ellie Crowe cites her sources. In addition, she adds her personal experiences at the sites, or that of someone who lives nearby. It's an effective technique that bridges the gap between ancient culture and today. William Crowe consistently finds a way with light and perspective to take dramatic photos of heiau ruins, healing stones and bare lava carved with petroglyphs. This isn't easy." About the Writer & Photographer Ellie and William Crowe have explored every continent and lived in Australia, South Africa, and the U.S.A. Islands are their favorite places. For the last twelve years they have traveled the Hawaiian Islands and read extensively about Hawaii's history and legends. They are members of the Hawaiian Historical Society. Ellie is an author whose books include Little Princess Kaiulani in Her Garden by the Sea and The Littlest Paniolo . A commercial real estate broker and photographer, William holds liberal arts and law degrees from the University of Sydney, Australia. He is president of Regent Asset Management Inc., an investment and management company. Their work is featured in both the Travel Channel's "Places of Mystery" series and the History Channel's "Haunted Hawaii" series. The authors have three children and live in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Tip 2 - After you make a Kauai hotel reservation you will receive a confirmation email. This email has valuable information like your confirmation number, and the Hotel's phone number. Print a copy of this email and take it along to confirm your reservation with the hotel. Tip 3 - If a Kauai hotel shows no availability it may mean that the Kauai hotel requires you to stay more then 2 nights. Try increasing the number of nights, you may find rooms are available. Tip 4 - Most of the time your credit card will not be billed until you check out of the hotel. Exceptions to this are the best rate guaranteed hotels which are prepaid to reserve the room.
