Aloha! My name is Barb, I am 47 and live in the San Francisco Bay Area. My daughter Michelle (27) and I will be visiting Hawaii for the first time Jan 6- 14th, 2007. She graduated from UC Davis 2 weeks ago We are Hawaiian descendents (my Nana was born in the Isands in 1898, her family was from Maui) who are very much looking forward to visiting our maternal homeland. I've been researching this trip for a decade or more, LOL! Unfortunately, trying to schedule our (budget) trip during some of the events we really wanted to see was impossible. We'd love to meet some local folks and "talk-story", or visit some of the non-touristy special sites, especially in the Iao Valley where my family lived. My oldest known Hawaiian ancestor was a woman named Kame born approx 1820- maybe we're related? My Nana had 13 siblings, most stayed in the Islands.
We will be arriving on Oahu Saturday Jan 6 about 7 pm and staying in Waikiki thru Sunday Jan 7 afternoon
Jan 8-9 we'll be on Kauai (lihue)
Jan 10 (hilo) and 11 (kona) we'll be on the Big Isle
Jan 12-13 we'll be on Maui near Kahului
and Jan 14 back in Oahu all day, leaving late that night.
Any suggestions on what to visit and what to avoid would be awesome! If you'd like to meet us, or know of a cool event we should check-out, please send me a Private Message.
Mahalo!
