Maui Business Boosters from August

Maui Business Booster

Over at my other blog on Activerain.com we were challenged to write some posts about our local businesses. It's a great way to network within the community, and get to see what's happening right in your own neighborhood. Blogging about these Maui businesses will help them to gain rankings on Google and maybe make them easier to find, especially those that don't have a website. I have to admit it's also fun.

Here's the featured posts from Maui in August:
Island Honda Maui
Charley's Restaurant in Paia Maui
The Greek Bistro in Kihei Maui
Hotel Wailea Maui
Hi-Tech Maui, Paia surf shop

If you have a business on Maui that could use a little promotion, please let me know and I would be happy to add you to the list. It won't cost you anything but a little time.

Aloha from Haiku Maui!

Back on Maui

Back on Maui time...

Just got back from a Canadian vacation - we were gone for almost the whole month of July. Canada is a great place to visit, but I have to say it sure is good to be back home.


Here are some things about the mainland that I don't miss at all:
billboards, bugs - blackflies, no-see-ems, horseflies, racoons, skunks, freeways, seagulls, crows, panhandlers, huge crowds.

What I do like about the mainland is: lots of new places to visit, great variety of restaurants, relatives who won't ever make the trip to Maui.

Aloha until next time!

Maui Bacon gets healthy - just for fun

Maui bacon on the Big Island of Hawaii
Aloha from Hawaii

Ok, so when I'm not busy selling real estate on Maui, we like to travel to the other islands here in Hawaii, so I can work at selling real estate from a different location (no rest for the weary). Last week we visited the Big Island of Hawaii and took along my little bacon buddy for some fun. You know what they say about "all work and no play".

We toured the NELHA facility over there and enjoyed the benefits of some 2,000 year old water which is made from really really deep ocean water. The salt is removed and some minerals are put back in. Most of this water gets shipped to Japan, where they sell it as a health food! Maybe there's something to it? I wonder what would happen if you removed all the salt from bacon?
For more bacon fun and adventures, be sure to check out the whatdobacondo blog right here on Blogger.com
You can even get your very own bacon buddy and join in the fun!

It's sunny this weekend on Maui and I'm really glad to be staying home to send out the newsletter and work in the garden. The new crop of beans and beets are going off, and little start plants are ready to go into the ground for summer eating. Everyone's talking about putting in a garden it seems. Don't forget there's a Farmer's Market every Saturday morning at the Eddie Tam Center in Makawao. Get fresh produce, jams and jellies and other goodies, help the local farmers.

Kihei and Wailea, Maui Hawaii condos and beaches

Kihei and Wailea, Maui Hawaii condos and beaches KIHEI OCEANFRONT AND BEACHFRONT CONDOS - PICTURES!
Yesterday I was looking at a few Kihei condos for sale and I snapped a few pictures with the back up camera, wishing I had charged up batteries on camera #1. Sheesh, ran out of memory already, not to mention shooting blind, the viewfinder way. But like I always say, it's hard to take a crappy picture on MAUI. How do you like these shots taken from some beachfront Kihei condos?
If views like this are what you want for you Kihei condo, I know where to find them! Call me. (Don't call me if you're trying to sell me SEO.)

HAWAII IS SMOKE FREEno smoking

On November 16, 2006, Hawai’i celebrated becoming the 14th state to go smoke-free. This law means people can't smoke inside any public buildings, or even near the entrance or windows. Smoking is prohibited in all enclosed or partially enclosed places of employment as well as places open to the public. For a quick overview of what this means, check out the Department of Health website.

Some businesses are choosing not to comply, and allow their patrons to light up while enjoying their meals and drinks. Do you think this is a good idea?
