http://twitter.com/chrispirillo – Don’t panic! I’m not planning to move to Hawaii. However, my last visit here wasn’t the greatest, and I recorded a video depicting the reasons I’d never live there. This vacation has been so amazing in a short amount of time that I thought I’d record a video talking about how great it is, and how IF I were to ever move, I might consider living here. http://chris.pirillo.com – http://geeks.pirillo.com

Snorkelling in Hawaii Big Island – Kona Captain James Cook
Duration : 0:8:21
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!
Itinerary:
1 – 1:20 p.m. — Ke KiaI A O Hula (Traditional Hawaiian Dance)
1:20 – 2:45 p.m. Hula Hui Na Haumana O Alaka (Polynesian Dance Troupe)
2:45 – 3:30 p.m. — Tupulaga (Youth Dance Group)

Mo’o Twins Homesite and Punawai Spring
On opposite sides of the Keauhou Beach Hotel Tennis Courts lie the homesite of the legendary Mo’o Twins and Punawai Spring. Legend tells us that the Mo’o Twins were prophetesses of the lizard goddess who, through time, became goddesses in their own right. The fertility pit at Punawai Spring is an example of the rare, freshwater springs in this area, which were the only source of drinking water and were the only reasons villages could survive in Kona. In modern times, the Hotel has promoted wedding ceremonies in the glade around Punawai springs, a Western reflection of the ancient practice of Hawai’ian girls bathing in them to insure fertile child-bearing years.
To reach Mo’o Twins Homesite and Punawai Spring, park either in the Kahalu’u Beach Park or at Keauhou Outrigger Beach Resort. From Kahalu’u, walk onto the Keauhou Outrigger Beach Resort property through the gateway in the fence between them and follow the asphalt path to the pool deck, through the lobby of the resort and join the paved path that runs along the end of the Resort driveway. From the Resort parking lot, walk up the drive to the paved path that runs along the end of the driveway. Following along this path, one comes first to the Punawai Spring. Where the path runs around the end of the tennis courts is a lovely little glade enclosed by a tidal pool…this is the homesite of the Legendary Mo’o Twins.
Paokamenehune
The breakwater predates the 15th century temple complexes in the area and is widely said to have been built by the menehune (sort of the Hawai’ian equivalent to leprechauns), but building was actually initiated to enclose the bay as a fishpond. Whether the work became beyond the powers of the Ali’i at the time to administrate or the surfing faction won-out in the battle over use of Kahalu’u Bay is not known, but the breakwater was already in disarray at the time of European contact in the 18th century.
To reach Paokamenehune Seawall, park either in the Kahalu’u Beach Park or at Keauhou Outrigger Beach Resort. From Kahalu’u, walk onto the Keauhou Outrigger Beach Resort property through the gateway in the fence between them and follow the asphalt path to the pool deck. From the Resort parking lot, walk up the drive and cross through the lobby to the pool deck. Walk across the tide flat to the water’s edge and follow it out to the obvious line of large stones that comprise the seawall. Beware of the rock with is very, very slippery when wet and bear in mind that walking along the seawall is extremely dangerous.
