Double Negatives Are A No-No

HAWAIIAN ADVENTURES

A Journey Through Paradise • Ohana Spirit • Island Life

Before Hawaii

Indiana University Days

Coming from the "buttoned down" environment of Indiana University at Indianapolis - a stark contrast to what awaited in Hawaii's laid-back island culture.

1994

SS Constitution Adventure

First extended stay working as a deck hand on the cruise ship SS Constitution. Just wanted a different experience and took the first job I could get - it changed everything!

Seven Days

Island Hopping Journey

Sailing for seven days with daily ports of call: embarkation at Aloha Towers in Honolulu, then a sea day, hitting Kauai, Maui (Lahaina and Kahului), Hilo, and Kona. It was the best!

Career

TV & Teaching Life

"I got more problems than a math book" - balancing TV set work with substitute teaching. The students are sweet, nothing like LAUSD rough. Culture shock of "hanging loose" in Aloha land!

Forever

Hooked on Hawaii

The temperate weather, energizing and spiritually uplifting atmosphere, amazing people, incredible food, rich culture, and that OHANA family spirit - I have been hooked ever since. Maybe 1+1 does equal infinity in paradise!
