Ho’okipa Aikane (Home Sharing Friend)
Cherie Attix, a good friend of mine and one of my first internet marketing clients, has a new blog that I’m really looking forward to. Ho’okipa Aikane, or “home sharing friend” will be Cherie’s blog for news and community views about Maui, where she owns and operates the Hale Hookipa Bed and Breakfast.
Here’s how Cherie describes herself and why she’s blogging:
I am a long time resident of Hawaii, I moved here as a teenager who loved the ocean and warm weather.
After raising my family, I found myself on my own on the island of Maui. In 1994, I purchased an old run down Portuguese family home in Upcountry Maui. This gem was built in 1924, and I cried when I first saw it. I wondered what happened to the original family….? It was a beautiful craftsman style home in some MAJOR disrepair, but the bones were good. In my usual optimistic approach, I figured, why not? I can do this.
It’s been an amazing journey…with a laughable budget, I have managed to restore and give new life to my home. It is now Hale Ho’okipa Inn.
I hope to share stories, and life in upcountry Maui and Hawaii Nei with anyone who wants to peek in.
A hui ho…until later!!
