In 1946 Walter Smith Jr began taking visitors up the Wailua River in a small rowboat to allow visitors a chance to witness the beautiful "Fern Grotto" or Mamaakualona to Hawaiians.

Four generations later the family tradition is still going strong. In fact the visitor experience is totally retro and a welcome relief in the midst of all high adrenaline activities offered in Hawaii.

Dear Endora,

I want to go camping in Hawaii and wanted to know your favorite camping spot!

Just Curious

I found this recipe online and thought it was worth trying out - most comments on the recipe stated they added lemon zest or juice as the combo of lemon and coconut is to die for! Maybe I will dip half of the cookie in dark chocolate...

Here is something to keep in mind when considering a cruise - and remember when you use a travel agent you will get the best value, this just goes without saying!
