Maui
Aloha Not a lot to say this time, we've just hung out and enjoyed the weather - although only a bit hotter than we've heard it is in the UK. We're getting too lazy to do tourist trips so didn't bother to see turtles, snorkelling, rainforest or ...
Roller Derby in Hilo

Arrival at Kalani

Kali Sitting
This is a top pick! Dec. 8th After a fast-paced a.m. shift, Siobhan and I hit the beach. We swam out pretty far, because swimming closer to shore where the huge waves broke was impossible. Roughly one in every 15 waves was enormous and terrifying. If ...
Nature Tour

The End of Kalani

Thanksgiving, Kalani Style
This is a top pick! Happy Thanksgiving! It’s my first Thanksgiving in a warm climate. It felt strange to wear a sundress instead of a wool coat. Around 6 a.m., I woke up to the sounds of people yelling about a rainbow outside. It was thin, but ...
Ecstatic Sun Dancing
This is a top pick! Nov. 21 First full day at Kalani. The weather was gorgeous again, sunny and maybe 85 degrees. I slept in late and missed breakfast, so I made a snack of sprouted wheat toast with organic almond butter and passion fruit jelly. After ...

Marku'u & Open Mic
This is a top pick! Dec. 12 Today, I went to the Marku’a Market in Pahoa. There were rows of stalls selling ukuleles, Aloha shirts, pearls, poi, kava, flower jewelry, ahi filets, etc. While this place wasn’t as exciting as the farmers’ market in ...
