WHALE WATCHING
ON MAUI!

The humpback whales that Visit Maui every winter (December through April) are part of a population that was once hunted almost to extinction. However, due to one of the most successful conservation campaigns in history these magnificent animals are now thriving.

View them from shore or a whale watch vessel, for  what many describe as a "life changing expxerience."

Here on Maui day tripping is a way of life. Grab the cooler and the kids, load up the car and take off on an adventure. Whether it's a morning of snorkeling or an upcountry outdoor barbecue dinner, Maui welcomes outdoor adventurers.

Speaking of no other place one of our favorite destinations is Hana, "the last Hawaiian place." It begins with a leisurely drive featuring waterfalls around every bend. Once in Hana itself every visitor is immersed in a culture that lavishes Aloha on one and all.

EARTH DAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR...
April 2012


It started in 1970. Born out of outrage over a California oil spill, and an increasing activism created by opposition to the Vietnam war, Earth Day was an idea whose time had come. A US Senator and a veteran environmental activist were prime movers. Public events were promoted across the US and 20 million Americans participated.

This first Earth Day is generally credited with spurring the passage of watershed (pun intended) environmental legislation. Laws and policies regarding pollution, clean air and water, recycling and endangered species protection were all created and nurtured by the kind of bipartisan coalition that is no longer a feature of the US Congress. The Environmental Protection Agency was born out of Earth Day. There was endless rhetoric to the effect that "environmentalism" was now a mainstream American movement. Teach-ins were held around the country and countless young people were sensitized and energized. Environmental organizations of long-standing, such as the Sierra Club, were happy to greet a eneration of new members. Legions of new organizations, many local and mainstream, others on the far-out fringes, were created and became a force in their communities.
