This & That for the weekend...

Even though we live in Hawaii, what can be translated by some, we're vacationing 24/7, we're still looking forward to the weekend as the rest of the country, perhaps the world. Most of us including myself make time on a daily basis to visit the ocean site, and enjoy its powerfully healing mana (energy). And so that's how I plan to spend this beautiful summer weekend.
But there are different celebrations around the Islands.
For example the Island of Lanai rejoice its 15th annual Pineapple Festival at Dole Park.
It will be yummy event with live music and and guess what - a pineapple-eating contest.
Can you imagine that just for $1.1 in 1922 James Dole bought the island, and in no time Lanai of roughly 141 square miles was the world's main pineapple manufacturer.
Of course throughout the years of economic changes on the Islands, Lanai has now only estimate of 100 acres of the fruit mainly purposefully preserved for its inhabitants consumption.
If you'd like to know more about the island of Lanai itself, here's a great website http://www.adventurelanai.com/ that will take you through different attraction the isle has to offer. I'm here on Oahu and every now and then like to go to the Dole plantation just to have the pineapple ice cream, but for a great tasting pineapples I send you definitely to Maui, famous for the gold and very sweet fruit....
Now if you need a great place to stay while you're here - for pineapples or other reasons - I have a great recommendations for you. My favorite real estate Team Hawaii has great choices for you, starting with Hawaii vacation homes, long term beach house rentals and if you love it here as much as I do Trinity Properties might even help you find your Hawaiian dream home to buy..how about Diamond Head Bali Estate.

A very Happy Aloha Friday for all,
