Tuesday, August 24, 2010
Have you heard that perky song that goes “Take me back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii”? In case the song isn’t ringing a bell yet, take a look at this link to a YouTube video with the Joni James version of the song. Capt. Cook Monument in Kealakekua Bay Have you ever wondered where is this song-inspired place called Kealakekua, Hawaii? Well, it’s a small town south of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. See this link to a Google Map indicating Kealakekua . Kealakekua has an elevation of just over 1400 feet above sea-level (per Wikipedia ), but it is rather close to the Pacific Ocean. So, picture it as an elevated, hill-side town in the shadow of Mauna Loa. Another claim to fame for this Hawaiian town is the nearby Kealakekua Bay that’s well worth your time to visit on your Hawaii vacation. It’s a beautiful bay that’s full of history. It’s also one of the top snorkeling spots in Hawaii. See my post on planning a visit to Kealakekua Bay . © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.

Monday, August 16, 2010
When you think about Hawaii, images of cows don’t immediately pop to mind. So, it may be a surprise to you to learn that Hawaii is home to one of the largest cattle ranches in the US. That would be the Parker Ranch on the Big Island of Hawaii. Today’s fields of Hawaii photo shows a pasture near Honokaa off Highway 240 on Hawaii’s Big Island — a beautiful drive that leads you to Waipio Valley. Though there are only a couple of cows in this photo, I thought the scenery deemed it worthy to post in Fields of Hawaii this series.

Let’s get this Monday started with some Hawaii vacation news. * Last week, I reported that the lava flow was heading eastward towards Kalapana residences.
