Today’s Hawaii is not as laid back as it was in its pre-missionary days [the missionaries disapproved of people surfing in the nude and rolling coconuts for partners!], but the sun, sand, surf and spectacular islands still work their magic on residents and visitors alike.
Author Boyé Lafayette De Mente, a former resident of Honolulu, provides historical as well as cultural and contemporary information on all of the denizens of Waikiki and the outer islands…good back-grounding for anyone contemplating a trip to Hawaii—or needing another push to make it happen!
