Jake Shimakuburo … Revisited
So you can pick up some of Jake’s great Hawaiian Ukulele Music, and all his other genius Ukulele renditions, I’m doing a little post to point you in the right direction: Good place to start
“da bruddah stay good”
Ok, I neglected to leave you News Flash, and Fun Facts About Hawaii on my last post, so we’ll “kiss and make up” with two of each.
News Flash: An event that has been going on in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island for several weeks now, is going to wrap up in late May. It’s called 2008 Kona Earth Festival. But here’s the thing, and this is especially true if you have keikis (kids), one of the major events is called Jack’s Diving Locker Ocean Fair ,and it takes place on Saturday, May 24, 2008.
Second News Flash: Have you read the claims AAA has made about what it costs to vacation in Hawaii for just one day. Get this … according to a AAA survey released Monday [5/5/2008] … it costs two adults an average of $793 a day for food and lodging alone. Here’s my take: COMPLETELY IGNORE THE STATEMENT!
Even the most rudimentary research online (and that’s where you should be making your arrangements) will show the $793 figure as just crappy … did I just type crappy? … bean counting analysis. Having a simply glorious Hawaiian vacation is going to cost you far less than that.
Two Fun Facts About Hawaii:
- The State Bird is called a Nene. It’s a flightless goose slightly smaller, but similar in appearance, than a Canadian goose.
- The State Flower is a Yellow Hibiscus. No, not a Red Hibiscus, a Yellow Hibiscus.
OK, I’m gone.
Aloha a hui hou.
