 man o' war by Stacyh
However, jelly fish stings SHOULD be treated with vinegar. In most species, vinegar actually stops the injection of venom that can occur as long as the stingers remain on the body. Pouring a couple liters of vinegar over the sting also reduces the pain.
Just be sure which you were stung by before using vinegar as it can actually make man o' war stings worse. Leave a Comment

 Red dirt everywhere by TropicGirl77
==> Red dirt stains EVERYTHING. If you get it on your shoes or white t-shirt (or any other clothes) ... I have the perfect laundering solution ...... (WRITE this down, so you don't forget ... pass it along to others also! )
ROLL THE WHOLE ITEM IN RED DIRT, COVERING IT COMPLETELY, then launder as usual. You will never get the stain out anyhow, so why not just try to make the WHOLE item the same color! Leave a Comment

My husband, who lived in Hawaii most of his life, told me that sometimes the waves gets so high that it can wipe you out of your feet if you go down the rocks close to the blow hole! There are many warning signs in there and people died already. But some tourists tignore the signs and think it is fun to go down the rocks but it is extremely dangerous!

WAIKIKI STREETS ARE PRETTY WELL DESERTED AFTER MIDNITE. THE ONLY PEOPLE LEFT OUT ARE THE DRUNKS AND DRUGIES. STAY ON THE 2 MAIN DRAGS, USE COMMON SENCE, AND KEEP YOUR STREET SMARTS ABOUT YOU. DON'T CARRY ANY MORE MONEY OR JEWRLEY THAN YOUR WILLING TO LOSE. Leave a Comment

You may get an offer to sit through a sales presentation in return for a helicopter ride, boat tour, dinner, etc.......DON'T. These people are high pressure sales sharks and will keep you longer than you bargained for all the while sucking the life out of you and your vacation. Leave a Comment

I laid my beach towel and sat on it. I was in the bushes close to the waiting shed - adjacent to the beach shower area. This shower is open for swimmers to rinse off ocean water and sand before heading out. This is also close to the lifeguard's area.
I wore my sunglasses on and tried to relax...
After a few minutes, I saw and heard beautiful women in bikinis chatting while they are taking a shower. I noticed this guy (big Samoan guy) sitting on a bench with a cell phone. This guy is sitting on a beach towel with dark sunglasses facing the shower area. He raises his cell phone but not make a phone call! I noticed that he does this everytime there is a woman showering in bikini. Then, when this beautiful Japanese tourist in string bikini took a shower, this guy raised his phone again. Then, eureka! I figured it out! He is actually taking pictures of those bikini-clad women!
Be careful with this guy. I am not sure where he is going to use those pictures. I told this to my husband and he says that the guy taking pictures of those women is not violating a law. However, don't you feel violated when someone is taking a picture of you in your private moment and you don't even know it?

 Hawaiian Sea Turtle by TropicGirl77Leave a Comment

...in the uplands of all the islands.
Here is the Hawai‘ian goose. It is called the Nĕnĕ (naay-naay) and is a close relative of the Canada goose. It so closely resembles them both in appearance and DNA structure that biologists consider them to be close cousins and believe that migrating Canada geese were blown off course and deposited here eons ago.
The Nĕnĕ has physically evolved a shorter wingspan and smaller flight feathers since it is now a non-migratory bird. It also has smaller webbed feet than its Canadian cousin possibly because it is mostly a land-bound bird now.
It was hunted almost to extinction 40-50 years ago. Between humans, mongoose and domesticated animals hunting them, they didn't stand a chance and a repopulation effort was started in the more unpopulated uplands of the islands. This effort has since brought the Nĕnĕ back towards a better standing. Though still endangered, it is now starting to move back into the lower, populated areas of the islands as their population grows.
These gentle birds are widely known for their lack of fear of vehicles and are known to have braved on-coming traffic while they pondered whether to cross the road completely or not. That's why you'll see the yellow diamond traffic signs warning of a "Nĕnĕ Crossing" along many upland roads. So, if you see the signs, please heed the warning and slow down! The Nĕnĕ will appreciate it.
It is a very elusive bird it seems, at least, for us. Of our several trips to the islands and the many warning signs we've seen, we have only twice seen the birds in the wild.
The first was on our way back from a pre-dawn trip to the end of Chain of Craters Road in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park to watch the lava. We stopped at one of the many crater lookouts along the way. That's when we finally got to see the first pair.
The second time was while at the Kaua‘i Marriott's golf course.
NOTE: The macron over the "e" is not being portrayed correctly on the VT servers.
