Talofa, everyone. Let’s get outdoors and have some fun! Here I am Downtown again, supporting a good cause. This time Alaska celebrates our neighbors from the far South during the ADP (Anchorage Downtown Project) Hawaii Day Celebration (Hawaii Statehood Celebration). There is music and dance during these non-profit celebrations. See hot island girls dancing and guys with flaming batons. I found out later that the party usually runs from 1:00pm – 3:00pm in Peratrovich Park in Downtown Anchorage, if you’re lucky enough to catch it. I was fortunate to be walking by at the right time with enough room in my camera to capture some of the action.
Thanks for letting me tape this. Sorry about the shaky video. Next time I’ll bring my tripod!

O’ahu is the third largest island in the Hawaiian chain. It is home to about three-fourths of the state’s population. Honolulu is the state capitol and the 11th largest U.S. metropolitan city. Waikiki, the most world-renowned site in O’ahu, is the top visitor destination of the state. This manmade beach attraction encompasses 450 acres of top vacation fun, surf, hotels, shopping, dining, and entertainment. Of course there is abundant tourist attractions outside of Waikiki. The island is very georgraphically diverse with mountains, rainforests, volcanic craters, tropics, beaches, and much more. There is something for everyone to see and do!

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo – http://www.hawaii-aloha.com – People always say that Hawaii is best known and loved for the gorgeous scenery and weather. I have to disagree. My favorite thing about the Islands is the food. Brucetook me to a “hole-in-the-wall” (for lack of a better word) restaurant recently. It was hands-down the best food I’ve eaten in a very long time. I had to ask Bruce to share with us the best places to eat in Hawaii, and where to find the best food. http://twitter.com/alohabruce – http://chris.pirillo.com
The start to a great month as Pele shows us her diversity displaying rivers of lava accented by littoral explosions & occasional coastline avalanches known as bench breaks. During our 2 hour tour you experience black sand beaches, ancient lava tubes, & red hot lava like no other. The boat is the ultimate way to view ocean lava as it touches the sea. You’ll stare in awe while viewing active lava erupt before your eyes.
