 1 ACRE LOT BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII MILE AND A HALF TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN LOOK US $100.00 |
Imagine awakening to dawn's first light glistening on a sleepy blue ocean. The day's sun bathers and swimmers haven't yet arrived. The silence is broken only by the rising tide splashing into tide pools, kissing the starfish and urchins. The beach is yours! Or imagine pitching a tent in Volcanoes National Park. As daylight fades and a soothing fragrance from the rain splashed Eucalyptus wafts through the cool air, an outdoor fireplace provides cozy warmth.
The sounds are soothing: rain gently splashing on the pavilion's roof and the broad shiny leaves of surrounding plants, the crackling fire, and the hushed chirping of native birds nesting in the high canopy of massive Koa and Eucalyptus that stand sentinel. E komo mai (welcome) to camping in the Hawaiian Islands!
While Hawaii's world renowned luxury resorts are tempting, one might do well to trade in those plastic lei and simulated waterfalls for a taste of true Paradise, at least for a night or two.
And spending less at pricey resorts (that tend to stress fragile coastlines and often support mega corporations outside of Hawaii) means more to spend on special mementos, good fun and local merchants and artists. Shopping at a grower's market for example is a nice alternative to spending $4 for half a papaya in a resort. For a great campsite breakfast, pick up some fresh fruit (how's five papayas for a buck sound?), mac nut bread and Kona coffee ("talk story" with locals while you're there, and you'll learn a lot more than you will lounging at a resort). Then there are the kayaking adventures, sunset dinner cruises (even frugal, backpacker types appreciate a little wining and dining!), horseback riding on the beach, snorkeling with the dolphins...well you get the idea!
Pitching a tent on a tropical beach or in a fragrant volcano forest is easy in Hawaii where campgrounds range from drive-up parks with full amenities to wilderness settings accessible only to hikers. Public campgrounds are run by Hawaii's National Parks, State Parks and County Parks and are as prolific in Hawaii as papayas.
Get details on the best and most family friendly campgrounds in Hawaii, and learn how to have a fantastic eco vacation in Hawaii on a shoestring budget whether camping or staying at a yurt, B&B, condo or hotel. I've just written the 2010 editions of the Hawaii Eco Travel & Budget guides, and they are all available at http://www.CoconutRoads.com, my Hawaii eco travel site.

It's Hotter in Hawaii $11.2 It’s Hotter In Hawaii. HelenKay Dimon. Cassie Montgomery was in no mood for messing around—until she got an eyeful of the sizzling-hot miscreant breaking into her half-brother Dan’s Hawaii home. Turns out he’s not a criminal, but a friend who’s just as suspicious of Dan’s “accidental” death as she is. Cassie’s beyond tired of bashing heads with thick-skulled local law enforcement, so there’s only one thing for it: team up with Caleb Wilson, and try to keep her secrets—and hands—to herself... Having a gun trained on him is nothing new for Cal. But when said gun is brandished by a goddess sporting short-shorts, a bad attitude, and a hidden agenda? A man should consider his choices very carefully. Option one: Seduce first, ask questions later. Option two: Find out why she’s in his Air Force buddy’s torn-up house, then seduce her. Option three: Let the islands do their work and let the woman behind the weapon seduce him... |
