Trapped in Paradise

Join a 20+ year resident of Oahu as he goes around and explores the happenings and sights in Hawaii. Some podcasts will be dealing with local events some will be places. Some episodes will be geared towards residents and some geared towards tourists. In any case come along with me and enjoy the sights and sounds of a place that people save for a life time to visit for 10 days. I get to live here and need to enjoy it more.

In Honolulu, large lei are draped on the statue in front of Aliiolani Hale to honor the king and his legacy. To further honor Kamehameha the Great, hula halau my perform in addition to other tributes left for the king at the base of the statue.

TIP EP0106-Hawaii DVC 06/09/2008

TIP EP0106-Hawaii DVC In this episode I get to mix my two podcasts. In October 2007 the Disney Company announced that they were going to put in a Disney Vacation Club resort in Hawaii. I took my camera out to the Ko Olina resort where the DVC is going to be built and take a look at the location. Nothing going on out there at the moment, but in 2011, the expected opening year, there will be another 800+ rooms on this site. This is big for Oahu in that it is estimated that they will create about 1000 jobs with the building of this resort. With a number of people that commute into urban Honolulu from the west side of the island, the addition of these jobs is expected to have a big impact for that side of the island. /episode/index/show/tippodcaster/id/1087267
