| Hana, Maui-Sunrise |
Writing Wai-nani, A Voice from Old Hawai’i has
brought many wonderful people and fine experiences my way. Lorraine Brodek,
author of A Nobody in A Somebody World,
a sneak peek into lives of celebrities
she grew up with, and I are signing our books at the Coast Gallery at the Travaasa Hana Hotel on Dec. 17th. Ka’ahumanu, the Hawaiian chiefess who was the
inspiration for my character Wai-nani was born in a cave in Hana. Lorraine has
graciously arranged a canoe outing for me to her birthplace.
In addition, she has invited me to stay with her and
producer husband Tom in their spectacular home sitting on ten acres high on a hill
overlooking Hamoa Beach, deemed one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
When I saw the video of her home.
I couldn’t believe my good fortune. Who could
ask for a more gracious estate amidst gorgeous grounds overlooking the rugged
coastline of pristine Hana, the last bastion of old Hawai’i.
A couple of years ago I drove the fabled Hana Highway
laced with waterfalls. My piece
Doing theHana Highway My Way details how you can experience the curvaceous road
overlooking the sequined Pacific without rubbing bumpers with all the other
tourists. Most visitors stop at the
Haleakela National Park and hike through the bamboo forest to a dramatic
waterfall and cap off their visit with a plunge in the pools of Oheo Gulch below
the highway. At night they head back to “the other side” of Maui leaving
residents to stunning sunsets and tranquility of water-rich Hana. The lush
tropical forests and dew –laden pastures are still once more as the sun rises
announcing another day in paradise.
