Imagine awakening to dawns first light glistening on a sleepy blue
ocean. The days sun bathers and swimmers havent yet arrived.
The silence is broken only by the rising tide splashing into tide pools,
kissing the starfish and urchins. The beach is yours! Or imagine pitching
a tent in Volcanoes National Park. As daylight fades and a soothing fragrance
from the rain splashed Eucalyptus wafts through the cool air, an outdoor
fireplace provides cozy warmth.
The sounds are soothing: rain gently splashing on the pavilions
roof and the broad shiny leaves of surrounding plants, the crackling fire,
and the hushed chirping of native birds nesting in the high canopy of
massive Koa and Eucalyptus that stand sentinel. E komo mai (welcome) to
