Aloha everyone - John and I went camping in Kau three days ago, and found petroglyphs! I'll put pictures up soon. If have succumbed to Pearl Harbor, The Movie fever, you may want to visit this page, http://gohawaii.about.com/travel/gohawaii/cs/pearlharborreviews/index.htm to read *all* the reviews.

01. ---The Best Beach in Aerica - Poipu---

It doesn't surprise me at all when Hawaii beaches dominate the best beaches in America list year after year - after all, we are the only tropical island state. Beaches in Hawaii are just *so different* than those flat stretches of sand on the east and west coast. They are sometimes shaped different (perfect crescent), the airs smells different (sweeter somehow), the sand is different (green, black, brown, yellow, OR perfect white), and they are perfect all year long. Anyway, Dr Beach has made his choices again, and here's what he said, with some added info:
