Molokai No Ka Oi


Lots of people often ask me where is the "most beautiful place" in the world?  Even this past few days I was asked that question and having been to a few places my answer is quoted from Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz"..."There is no place like home"...  Hanging out with your family and friends in a place so common yet can be so unfamiliar to makes life's journey so memorable.  On this side of Hawaii, Molokai still retains much of the Hawaiian culture and True Aloha spirit is alive and well.  These past few days we lived as the Hawaiians did 100 years ago.  We ate what we caught, we cooked and cleaned with the water from the river,  there was no air conditioning in this humid weather but open doors and windows.  We shared stories, made new friends, and rekindled old friendships with those on Eastside Molokai.  The beauty of the their landscape with steep vertical cliffs, lush vegetation, and huge waterfalls, makes for a trip of a lifetime.  It's good to travel and see the world but it's even better to be content in your own back yard.  Molokai No Ka Oi!
