Aloha!  It's that time of year when the leaves start to turn and the first snowfall (for some of you!) is in the air.  It's a wonderful time to visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, do some whale watching, get out in an outrigger canoe or kayak at Kealekekua Bay or just sip some Kona coffee while eating fresh tropical fruit from the big island!  AND...to warm you up and get in the mood, check out these books about Hawaii (from guides to novels and thrillers)!  I'm offering some special rates (as little as $100/night!) for friends and family depending on the length of your stay so contact me if you are interested in visiting paradise and staying at my place in Kona!  Mahala (thank you)!  Michael  415 519-9374 Launching outrigger canoes at Place of Refuge
