Downtown Hawaii Skyline

The skyline in Honolulu is absolutely beautiful during the late evening. Isn’t that view amazing?! The reason I recorded this, though, is to get all of you involved. I want to have everyone record a short video response for this post, and show us your skyline. You can live in a city, a small town, or even out in the country. Take a short video and show us what it looks like in your neck of the woods just before sunset!

Hawaii Travel Tips


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

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. Bruce took 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.

Here I am, leaving Hawaii again. I had an amazing time at the [re]Think Hawaii last week. I not only made some new friends, I was able to gain several new perspectives on many things.

Bird is the Word

On my recent trip to Hawaii, I visited Puka Dog in order to try one of their famous hot dogs. While there, I also met Rosie the Green-Winged Macaw. I’m not so sure I enjoy a bird sitting on me. It was kind of freaky! Nothing against Rosie… she was a very nice bird!!

The hot dog was delicious, by the way.

The Business of Social Media

The Business of Social Media

According to my friend Michael, business is conducted during play time quite often. This held true during my recent trip to Hawaii, while we were having lunch at Tiki’s Grill.

Tiki’s has an awesome menu, and you have to try the Poke Bowl if you ever have the chance! Hawaiian ahi poke is chunks of fresh yellow fin tuna, seasoned with Hawaiian ogo seaweed, soy sauce and sesame oil. The Poke Bowl consists of this served over white rice, and topped with avocado and pipikaula aioli.

Decided to ride around Ohau with my new friend, the ReThink Bunny. We had tons of fun with other Twitter friends – including @alohayaling, @alohabruce, @elliottng, @mikeprasad, @rickyli99, @dodeja, and @kaiserkuo (a Chinese rock star)!

Battle of Nu’uanu Pali

Battle of Nu'uanu Pali

Looking at the Ko’olaus from a vantage point of the Pali. That’s the Like Like highway below.

This spot (where I’m standing, not where I’m pointing the camera’s lens) is where Kamehameha forced the Oahu opposition off the edge (Kaleleka’anae).

Hawaii Hotel: Outrigger Waikiki

Hawaii Hotel: Outrigger Waikiki

This is where I’m staying for [re]Think Hawaii, courtesy of @AlohaBruce and his crew.

The room is spacious, the amenities are aplenty, and the bed gave me a very peaceful night’s rest. I know what you’re thinking… I’m a Geek. Geeks aren’t supposed to sleep! However, I freely admit that I most certainly do sleep, every night! Sleep is good for you, really!!

Me in Real Life

Hawaii Morning

Hawaii Morning

I think I have found a new home away from home at the Outrigger Hotel in Waikiki. I traveled down to the Islands last week to attend the [re]Think Hawaii conference. This place is so amazingly comfortable, with every amenity a Geek could hope for! The bed was comfy, the view was gorgeous, and there were giant frogs in the lobby!

Expedia.com Coupons

From the “wish I had the money and time to take advantage of this” file. Expedia is offering great deals on Hawaiian Vacations: Roundtrip Air + 4 Nights from $583 (exp 10/15/09). It’s beautiful right now in Seattle, but in about a month the rain is going to start and then I’m going to be kicking myself for not booking another vacation to Hawaii…
