Maui Rain!

What a wonderful day of constant rain!  A refreshing break from the heat of the last couple of days, almost like we're not even in Hawaii.  So it's a good day to be in the office.  Get some work done... a day of brainstorming even.

It's nice actually to get some peace and quiet.  It seems like every conversation I get in lately is about the economy, and the "economic situation".  I'm not sure how I feel about this.  You know, certainly it's a good reminder to spend wisely, but we also need to keep fear in perspective.

Most of our information on this "economic situation" comes from a media blast that doesn't completely reflect the reality that we live in.  However, we buy into it.  We yield ourselves to the constant drone of "hard economic times", it scares us into a corner, and we're saturated in fear and greed.  But we don't want that.  We want to live free.  We need a reality check, absent of propaganda.

You know, my wife and I were on a flight from LA to Maui last week, and yet again I was shocked at how full the plane was.  There sure still seems to be ample of travelers, and travelers to Hawaii none the less, in these "economically difficult times".  Don't get me wrong, I know that there are people suffering out there due to some economic situations... my problem is that these sufferings are a result of greed and people not living in reality.  We need a reality check.

Or maybe you need a Hawaiian vacation!  Actually, maybe I need a Hawaiian vacation!  That's more like it... I need to get on some of these Maui activities.

A Happy Hawaiian New Year!

We at Ohana Fun! just want to wish you all a happy New Year. Now that the holidays are over, everyone is buckling down again and getting down to business - which is Maui, Big Island, Kauai and Oahu activities of course.

We always want business to be fun and trust that this coming year will be a prosperous one for people, and that you all would have fun! Make sure you take time for family and enjoy those vacations. Especially you should take some time out and make your way to for some great family Hawaii activities and attractions.

Do not be overwhelmed. Do not fall prey to the economic hysteria. Press forward. How do you eat an elephant? The same as anything else, one bite at a time.

Merry Christmas! (from Maui, Hawaii)

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas from all of us at Ohana Fun! Hawaii. We know that this is a wonderful time to be with family and relaxation. Hopefully Maui, or somewhere in Hawaii is the backdrop for your time. And if you're fortunate you have plenty of activities to participate in while here in Hawaii. We are taking some time with family as well, but are still available to be your personal Hawaiian concierge. Make the most of Hawaii with our selection of Maui activities, Big Island activities, Oahu activities and Kauai activities!

Hawaii Review

Some of us from Ohana Fun! Hawaii have left the beautiful Hawaiian islands for a few weeks. We find ourselves in the brisk, sometimes frigid air of China! China is wonderful and a must for any avid traveller as we are at Ohana Fun!

We know the value of time and the importance to make the most of your time while on any trip. This is why we want to offer superb personal Hawaii concierge services to any wanting all they can have from the Hawaiian islands and activities.

The cold China air brings a healthy reminder of the warm Maui breeze to come, and all those Maui activities awaiting us. The Maui vistas and majestic ocean is always a wonderful thing to return to... even though the rest of the world is awaiting.

Maui Rain

Man, did it ever rain here the last day!  Maui rain is exceptional though... flashing downpours often refreshing.  It seems as though this past one helped usher in the comfortable Maui winter.  Hawaii weather is typically predictable, especially here.  Eighty degrees and sunny.  But we love to see our grass green up.  Not to mention that Hawaii winter equals North Shore swell!  And Hawaii North Shore means nothing shy of Hawaii Surf!  The mighty ocean bears down on our beloved beaches and reefs.  Green and blue are the backdrop for all of our Maui & other Hawaii adventures and activities.  

Lizard Man

When walking about you must not get too consumed with your mission to miss the simple beauties of life! Life is not just point A to point B, there are the vast wonders in between. Just like this guy. He's walking about his day, as were we... our paths intersect and we stared at each other for a few moments.

Hawaii is not a place for speed, it is all about taking deep breaths and pulling back a notch or two. But even here in the islands we can tend to get caught up in our own little worlds. Not to mention how easy it is for any Hawaiian Tourist to return home more tired than when they arrived if they try to take in all the Hawaiian island activities and attractions that there are.

My suggestion for life is to do what you can, and plenty of it, though do not be in such a state where you cannot pause for simple pleasure and gentle beauty.

Kona Blues

Last week we had the privilege of traveling back and forth from Maui to Kona several times. Living in Maui is great, great breeze and sunshine, though it is wonderful to traverse the oceans to the other islands from time to time and experience the difference in scenery as well as, believe it or not, the climatic change. And this past time was the Big Island of Hawaii... specifically Kailua-Kona.

We flew over on a little 10 seat airplane that gives great views of Haleakela and the coasts of both Maui and Kona. You can really appreciate Hawaii so much more when you see it from the air. It is amazing to see these volcanic mounds popping out of the mighty Pacific Ocean. I am amazed every time I think of the remoteness and splendor of Hawaii.

Anyways, this trip I was particularly struck by the bright blues that surround the Kona coast. I snapped this photo from my phone as we were taking off, returning to Maui. It captures the rustic, pure beauty of the Hawaiian Islands, inspiring in their own right. Make sure to make an aerial exploration as part of your Maui or Big Island activities!
