The Islands
My travel throughout the islands has taken me to Maui and Molokai. I did not go to "top-side" Molokai, rather I was an invited guest of two patients in Kalaupapa. The five days that I spent in Kalaupapa as a guest of the residents were incredible. The mana that fills the penninsula is undescribable. I am getting "chicken-skin" right now just thinking of it.

I hope for my next visit to be to either Big Island or Kauai. I would love to go back to Maui as well. Of course, if I ever get the chance to return to Kalaupapa, I will go in a heart beat. I would also love to have the opportunity to go to Kahoolawe.

Once the Hawaii Superferry arrives, this will make travel between the islands much easier, as you will be able to take your own vehicle, eliminating the need for a rental car. Right now there are several Native Hawaiian groups and Sovreignty groups that are protesting the Supperferry. I can see all the different arguments and I agree with some arguments from both sides. We will just have to wait it out and see what happens. Ua mau ke ea o ka āina i ka pono!
