After seeing the Oahu From the Window Seat Aloha Friday Photo , Paula sent in her own Maui version. Just looking at this photo brings back those happy feelings as if I’m about to land back in paradise. When you’re flying between islands, I recommend you do your best to get a window seat as we’ve discussed . Though the inter-island flights are short, they offer great views of the islands. Mahalo to Paula for sharing her view of Maui from the window seat. © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.

With today being Veterans Day in the U.S. , let’s remember the sacrifices of our service men and women. Please make the effort to thank a veteran today. If you don’t have the opportunity to extend your personal gratitude, please consider making a donation to the USO , an organization

Today’s stunning photo was captured by Michael Kinsley of Pahoa on Hawaii’s Big Island. He shot this vibrant rainbow on the Red Road near Kehena in the Puna District of Hawaii’s Big Island. Amazing! Isn’t it? Mahalo to Michael for allow us to share his photo! I first saw this magical photo on the No Ka Oi Adventures facebook page , where I’m a fan after touring the road to Hana with No Ka Oi . The owner, Wade Holmes, is friends with the photographer. So, I asked Wade if we might be able to get permission to share it on our Aloha Friday Photo Series. Wade kindly took the time to ask for permission. Thank you, Wade! I titled this photo ‘Somewhere Under the Rainbow’ with the famous IZ song in mind. What other titles/captions would you use for this unique photo? © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.

Today’s Aloha Friday Photos come to us from Fidel. He and his wife took their very first trip to Maui back in May. Fidel and his wife took the early morning drive up to the top of Haleakala to watch sunrise , making sure they arrived early enough for the outstanding stargazing. Fidel tells me he was in awe when he arrived at the summit at 4am and adding, “Looking up the sky, seeing the thousands of bright stars and the milky way interspersed in between them made me breathless. It felt like I could just grab and play them in my hands! It was one of the most amazing sight I’ll ever see and remember.“ Fidel notes the following planets he found among the stars: Jupiter (top), Venus (below left) and Mars (right of Venus). I’ve had a similar experience as Fidel had on Haleakala. It’s simply incredible to see that many stars in that dark, night sky. As you are making your Hawaii vacation plans, I’d encourage you to read my article about stargazing in Hawaii for tips on when and where to go. Fidel took this photo just a bit later in the morning. He noted that, at this point, Mars became so faint that it was almost unnoticeable. If you are planning to go to Haleakala to watch sunrise on your Maui vacation, I highly recommend that you read my tips to make the most of you Haleakala sunrise visit . I recommend that you arrive early to stargaze and watch for shooting stars. Fidel went on to note that most people at the summit seemed completely unaware of the star-filled sky. Sadly, they seemed focused on the sole task of watching sunrise. If they only realized what they were missing, they would have seized the moment. Mahalo to Fidel for sharing these beautiful pre-sunrise Haleakala photos and his observations with us! © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.
