ALOHA graduation trip…

Filed Under Erin and Julie, Josh and Katie (Ellie), Our Family | 

After the hurrah of the graduations and ensuing celebration, we embarked upon our family trip of Aloha (the Big Island of Hawaii).

What an experience!

From the warm springs of Ahalanui State Park (south) to the peak of Mauna Kea to the floor of the Pololu Valley (north). We visited waterfalls and lava tubes, a rain forest zoo, the most pristine air in the world, beautiful beaches and amazing sites of all kinds!

We also had a few quirks along the way. But hey, it was a vacation in Hawaii! Hello!

Pictures will be forthcoming. I promise.

  • Aloha means much more than just “Hello” and “Good-bye”.

Aloha translates into “Everything good that I have, I give to you.”

Isn’t that a powerful message! It seems kind of a hokey Hawaiian word until you realize just what it means. In the tourist areas it’s thrown around because that’s what tourists expect to hear when they visit Hawaii. “Aloha.” Get off the beaten path and your more likely to simply hear “Hi” or “Hello”.
