Today’s Aloha Friday Photo comes from my sister Michelle. She carved this cute Polynesian-themed scene onto a pumpkin to celebrate this holiday season. The pattern came from a template, but the steady hand, patience and skill are all hers. Nicely done, sis! Mahalo to Michelle for sharing her photo with us on this Aloha Friday before Halloween. © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.

My friend, Carrie Hill of Colorado, was in Maui this week and emailed this photo from the Jodo Mission in Lahaina. I believe today’s photo might be our very first statue edition. According to the mission’s website , this Buddha statue stands 12 feet high and is made of copper and bronze. Mahalo to Carrie for sending in her photo fresh off her Maui trip! © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.

As a friend was planning her Kauai vacation, I reeled off a list of top Kauai attractions . After I mentioned, seeing the Kalalau Valley, my friend asked, “But, doesn’t that take a long hike to see?” Instantly, I detected that she thought that you had to hike the entire 11-mile of the cliff-hanging Kalalau Trail in order to see the Kalalau Valley. Fortunately, that’s not the case! Getting to the view points for Kalalau Valley is easy. All you need is a car and a map that includes Highway 550, Kokee Road. To create your own directions, see this Google Map. There are two Kalalau Valley viewpoints off of Highway 550 — at mile marker 18 and at the end of the highway. I think the viewpoint at the end of the road is the best one, but I encourage you to stop at both of them. Both viewpoints are wheel chair accessible. There’s plenty of other great views so see around Kalalau Valley. See my post about Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Parks for tips and recommendations. For the outdoor adventurer, Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Parks offer excellent hiking trails , with Canyon Trail being one of my favorites. Hopefully you can see how easy it is to see this beautiful valley. There’s no challenging hiking required. Please don’t miss it. We’re on facebook!

Today’s Aloha Friday Photo is actually a video. Dave from Oahu created this very cool video explaining how to grow a pineapple, which happens to fit nicely with our series this week on Hawaii plants and blooms. Starting and growing a pineapple sound pretty easy actually. I may even give it a try, but by planting it a container so that I can bring it indoors for winter months. Dave recommends these helpful instructions for more information on growing a pineapple in your home. (Email subscribers, click here to access the video .) Mahalo, Dave, for providing our very first Aloha Friday video! © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.
