Mahalo nui!

Kailoa, we await your announcement of where you gonna be! My first time here was 1968, on R&R from Nam. My heart has been here since.

We'll be establishing a food concession on the bike/walking path in Kapa'a specializing in quality Thai style entrees & Kabobs. We hope to build a fun, loyal following and become a valued part of the community.

Lucky you guys! If it was possible, I would be back in Kapa`a again, or up in Hanalei. Make the most! Aloha!

Aloha HawaiiThreads,

Mahalo for acceptance in your online 'ohana - it feels wonderful to be amongst kindred souls sharing in the Uhane & Pahaohao (Spirit & Magic?) that is Hawaii!

Our moolelo (story?) is that we are finally making our move (next few months) to Paradise after a lifetime of dreaming for & striving toward it.

We'll be establishing a food concession on the bike/walking path in Kapa'a specializing in quality Thai style entrees & Kabobs. We hope to build a fun, loyal following and become a valued part of the community.

There is much for us to learn in our new honua (world?) and we look forward to the experience & knowledge you our new 'ohana will bring us, as well as, what we may contribute back.

Again, mahalo nui loa!

Mike & Linda

‘O Kailoa Pulupēikemele ko‘u inoa. Noho au i Kentucky, akā na‘e, ‘o Hawai‘i nei ka ‘aina aloha maoli nō au. ‘Akahi nō au a kipa mai i Hawai‘i i ka makahiki 1967. Ua noho au i Hawai‘i ma kēlā manawa ma waena o na makahiki 1967 a me 1970 i ko‘u manawa i ka Pū‘ali Kaua Moana o ‘Amelika Hui Pū ‘Ia. Ua kipa mai hou au iā Hawai‘i i 1981 a me 2006. Aloha maoli nō au i nā mea Hawai‘i a pau, ke mele a me ka hula, nā mo‘olelo, ka ‘aina, nā kuahiwi, nā kahakai a me nā mea a pau ma waena. A aloha nō au ka ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i. He haumāna ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i au ma loko o ka papa ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i ‘o Niuolahiki ma http://ahapunanaleo.org/niuolahiki/. He nīnau ka‘u: Aia he ‘ao‘ao ma kēia wahi no ka ho‘oma‘ama‘a ‘ana i ka ‘ōlelo makuhina o ka po‘e Hawai‘i a me nā haumāna ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i? He mea maika‘i kēia i ko‘u mana‘o.

Kailoa is my name. I live in Kentucky, however, Hawai'i is the land that I love most. I first visited Hawai‘i in the year 1967. I lived in Hawai‘i at that time between the years 1967 and 1970 during my time in the United States Navy. I revisited Hawai‘i in 1981 and 2006. I really love everything Hawaiian, the music and hula, the stories, the land, the mountains, the beaches and everything in between. And I love the Hawaiian language. I am a student of Hawaiian language in the Hawaiian class at Niuolahiki at http://ahapunanaleo.org/niuolahiki/. I have a question: Is there a a page at this site for practicing the mother tongue of the Hawaiian people and student of Hawaiian? I think this would be a good thing.

Mahalo me ko‘u aloha pumehana,

Na Kailoa
