The Modern Landscape of Kahoolawe
Rated 5.0 Stars
The military bombed Kahoolawe for nearly half a century from 1941 to 1990. At the start of World War 2, the Army declared martial law throughout Hawaii and took control of Kahoolawe for use as a target and training area. More »

Six Flags Over Georgia
Deep in the heart of Dixie, Six Flags Over Georgia is an amazing theme park that boasts of 11 roller coasters and many other rides and games. It features shops, restaurants, and spectacular shows. We've had the fortune to visit this playground twice. It's a Peach of a Park! More »

Our Top Ten Favorite Wooden Roller Coasters
Since September of 2003, we've been writing our columns extolling the virtues of roller coasters in America's amusement parks. Being from Hawaii, and with limited vacation time, we planned our trips to experience not only the highest and fastest, but also rides that have been highly rated and/or have historical significance. Many remain on our "to do" list including the famous Coney Island Cyclone and The Boss in St. Louis. More »

In-Flight Fitness: Stretches for Tired Travelers
Rated 5.0 Stars
Unless you're going to a neighbor island, the nearest flight out of Hawaii state takes at least five hours, to the West Coast. Five hours is a long time to be sitting on a plane. And with more people trying to take their luggage on board instead of paying a baggage fee, there's less leg room on board, as well. More »

Travel Makeup
As one who travels a lot - er, make that past tense, since we had a kid - I've become somewhat of an expert on travel makeup. In other words, makeup built to last, or small and portable things. More »

Secrets of the Zig Zag Method Part II
Rated 3.5 Stars
I cannot stress enough that slot machines are required by law to be fair and in Nevada all slot machines must payback at least 75% of all the money they take in. At the big name casinos Downtown and on the Strip the payback percentages are likely to be 92% or better. More »

How To Win In Vegas
We’ve all heard the jokes, “If you wanna double your money in Vegas, take it out and fold it in half and put in back in your pocket” or “How do you make a small fortune in Vegas, start with a large one!” The irony is that most of us don’t have a large fortune to start with but we’d like to win at least a small one… once in awhile… OK maybe just once.

Controlling the Skies: How the Air Traffic Control Tower Works
When you're taking a plane trip, how much thought do you give to the people working to keep you safe in the skies? I never considered it on my many flights as a traveler, but after I got my private pilot's license some years ago, I had to learn more about the inner workings of the control tower. Recently, the Federal Aviation Administration opened up the Honolulu tower to a rare media tour. More »

Comps, Getting What You Deserve - Part 1
Many people believe that comps are only for the high rollers. Others believe that table players are more valuable to a casino than a slot player betting the same amount or that comps are something for nothing. But each year billions of dollars in comps go unused because most people don't "Get What They Deserve". More »
