Aloha! As you probably know, aloha means hello, goodbye, kindness and compassion to the people of Hawaii. My husband and I were blessed to take a three week trip to the Hawaiian islands for Christmas 2008 and our 10 year wedding anniversary. Our parents took wonderful care of our children in our home while we were away. We can't thank them enough. Truly.
This blog, Aloha to Akaka, is going to be a journal of sorts of our trip. We started off by saying Aloha and ended our trip at Akaka Falls on the Big Island. It seems to be a fitting title. However, it's going to take awhile to sort through the 3000 (no joke) photographs we took to decide which ones to post. I'm sure it'll be a team effort to recall all the stories of what we experienced as well, but we did keep a handwritten journal while we were there so we already have all the info about where we stayed when, where we ate, what we ate, etc.
Add to that the fact of the aforementioned small children, and you have a recipe for a blog long in coming. So please be patient with me... I'm going to need it! My hope is that it will give you a glimpse of the incredible place that is the Hawaiian islands. Enjoy!
