		<description><![CDATA[Prompted by a story on Hawaii Insider and in honor of Father&#8217;s day, here is the image of Hawaii that my father gave me as I was growing up. My parents visited Hawaii in 1971, the year before I was born. Even though I got to travel a lot as a child (when we lived [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I never understood the tradition of naming ships after geographic places, or people for that matter. I guess they ran out of cool names like Endurance and Resolution. So I never thought there might be boats named after Kaua&#8217;i, but I&#8217;ve heard of two recently. Neither are really famous, and both are or were associated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hawaiians historically had footpaths for getting about on land. On Maui and the Big Island, some of those paths that traverse ancient lava flows have been preserved, but on Kauai, vegetation and erosion have erased all the paths that fell out of use. So, several years ago, I was excited to hear that one of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The waterfalls on Nounou mountain, the Sleeping Giant, are so ephemeral because there is so little area on the upper slopes to catch and funnel the rain. It takes a lot of rain and a quick break in the clouds to see them. We had another four inches of rain last night, there were a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever seen pineapple flowers before? To satisfy your horticultural curiosity: Most people know that pineapples grow in Hawaii, it used to be a big industry on Kauai with fields and large canneries in both Kapaa and Lawai. I have read that pineapple flowers are the reason that there are no hummingbirds in Hawaii. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the Kuilau Ridge hike last Sunday, I caught a few glimpses of Mt Waialeale through the clouds. You often hear about how the Hawaiians used to climb up from Wailua once a year to the heiau atop Mt Waialeale, and I realized I was now looking at the possible routes. Conventional wisdom says they [...]]]></description>

After 30-some years on Kaua&#8217;i, she says she&#8217;s finally starting to feel and be treated like a local.

They are located in &#8220;Old Koloa Town,&#8221; a row of old wooden buildings on the main street that were once local businesses and are now quaint tourist shops. While I do recommend them as the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I usually don&#8217;t talk about computers, but I can&#8217;t pass up this little tidbit of computational history. To be more accurate, the ALOHA protocol for packet switching was invented at the University of Hawaii and successfully applied in the ALOHAnet, a precursor to Ethernet on which the Internet runs. It&#8217;s actually a simple packet protocol [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One more post about last Saturday&#8217;s trip. Of course we saw trees up in Kokee, the forest with many native trees is one of the main attractions there. However, we ran across two interesting non-native trees. In the early 1900&#8242;s wild cattle roamed the uplands and destroyed much of the native forest, causing erosion. The [...]]]></description>
