LISTEN TO EXCERPT

Long ago, the legendary Elvis Presley sang, ‘Dreams come true in blue Hawaii’ and that’s how most people who visit Honolulu still feel. The magic starts with the very name of the city – Honolulu. It rolls off the tongue like music. So much of the Hawaiian language evokes the same kind of feeling. There’s a slowing down of the pace, there’s a swaying rhythm that creeps in, there’s a softness, a promise of the sun and the sea. It brings to mind images of grass skirts, gently swaying hips, fragrant leis and blue skies and seas. So from the time you step into your first aloha or ‘Greetings’ till it’s time to leave and it’s hui hou kakou or ‘until we meet again’.  Honolulu, you’ll find, is really as good as it sounds!
