Aloha!

MAUAI WOWIE!

Ric and I will get to check out this slogan ourselves in late May.

Last week I passed my destination specialist test on Hawaii. The next step is a certified destination specialist. I have to visit within 5 yrs of taking the first test, write a detailed paper on the destination, fill out some forms, and pay $25. I"m hoping with just visiting one island, they will let me complete the designation. If not, I guess we will have to plan on visiting all the other islands within 5yrs!

Any suggestions from anyone out there on where to eat or visit? We are planning on most of the tourist stops --- Haleakala National Park, Iao Valley (and Needle), the road to Hana, and more. We will be staying in Lahania.
