Hawaii information about Hawaii vacations blog

If you visit Hawaii, you should spend at least a little time on a boat. If you really want an adventure, try a sail boat. There is nothing like cruising silently through the whitecaps, only the sound of the sea and the wind in your sails… The views of the islands are spectacular from the boat… And there’s the occasional stop for snorkeling… Maybe sail out to Molokini, do a little scuba diving…

Of course, sailing is an adventure for which you’ll want to be prepared. Salt spray, cool air, possible foul weather…all call for sailing gear like foul weather gear for your protection and safety. And, of course, so you can look cool! Our new friends at Whitecaps Foul Weather Gear have a huge selection of foul weather gear, rain gear, sailing gear and sailing accessories.

Check out their full line of sailing gloves. Sailing footwear like sailing shoes and warm, dry socks are very important when you’re out on the ocean. You’ll need to choose from a big selection of sailing bags, sunglasses and other sailing accessories, and maybe even a hand-held portable GPS system. Make sure your kids are safe and comfortable with junior sizes of foul weather gear for kids. They also have a large selection of women’s foul weather gear.

Heck, even if you’re not going to do much sailing, this gear (especially the really cool sailing jackets) is just plain stylish and functional for any outdoor activity loving person on vacation in the many varied climates of the Hawaiian Islands. From freezing temps at sunrise on Mount Haleakala, to a Kona storm while you’re sailing the rough water between islands, Hawaii’s weather can get quite foul, and Whitecaps Foul Weather Gear is the perfect place to stock up on the sailing apparel and accessories you need.

Ten years ago, when we were living on Maui, I got an email from Dr. Robert Faust who was running an organic coffee farm on the big island of Hawaii, just south of Kona, near the Hawaiian refuge town of Honaunau. He needed help with his various web sites, and he wanted help selling his delicious organic Kona coffee. It was perfect timing, as those were lean years, and living in Hawaii is very expensive (we only lasted a year). They were lean years for Dr. Faust as well, so we let him pay us in organic Kona coffee.

It was a sad day a few years ago when we heard that Dr. Faust had sold his sustainable Hawaiian coffee farm and moved to Oregon, where he still runs his organic fertilizer business.

It was a happy day last month, then, when I got an email from Mike Tucker, who purchased the organic coffee farm, and spent the last couple of years restoring the farm into a sustainable and productive Hawaiian coffee farm, now known as Kona Comfort Coffee. After hearing his story, I told him he should blog about it, and, whadya know, he had kept a journal of the entire experience of rejuvenating the farm. After a few weeks of work, we’re happy to announce a riveting Organic Kona Coffee Farming in Hawaii Blog that tells the story creating an organic Hawaiian agriculture business literally from the ground up. The blog has great pictures of the sustainable Hawaiian coffee farm, and other great pictures of Hawaii’s Big Island!

Of course, the really great news is that the organic gourmet coffee beans from Hawaii are better than ever! This organic Kona coffee is so good that I don’t even put my usual half teaspoon of Hawaiian sugar in it! The chocolate undertones and complete lack of bitterness make it irresistible! Each order of gourmet coffee beans is fresh roasted when you order it, or you can order organic green coffee beans if you’re a home roaster.

Of course, the timing is once again wonderful, as I recently began getting higher search engine ranks for my clients on a full time basis. And, you can purchase organic Kona coffee just in time for the Holidays, and you can even get your organic Kona coffee beans gift wrapped in very cool Hawaiian style!

Make a statement against the pesticide ridden on-line florist industry by buying these naturally grown tropical flowers from Hawaii!

Hana Flowers grows pesticide-free flowers in the lush rainforests of Hana, Maui, Hawaii. These Hawaiian flowers are hand-picked and hand-washed in bio-degradeable soap.

As an environmentalist, I would like to remind everyone that buying flowers from some on-line florists means you’re getting pesticide ridden flowers from third-world countries that treat their workers, and their environment, like trash. By purchasing flowers from this on line florist, you’re voting with your dollars for a better, more sustainable way of growing flowers.

Hana Flowers also sells Hawaiian leis, Hawaiian wedding flowers, bridal bouquets, live rainforest plants, and Hawaiian gift baskets. Online florists that sell tropical flowers from Hawaii are one of the ways I remind myself of Hawaii when I’m not there. No sense evokes memories better than smell.
