HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK, Hawaii -- The largest and southernmost of the Hawaiian islands is shaking, spitting, and stretching as it slowly expands into the ocean. You'll see and feel reminders of this almost everywhere during your trip to Hawaii Island, which most locals call the Big Island.
On my third visit to Kauai, it was time to embrace the wilder side. Instead of lolling on the Hawaiian island's delectable beaches last month, I hurtled through the air on ziplines; kayaked down a river into the ocean; and zoomed along the wild Na Pali coast aboard an inflatable boat.
Hawaii, once known for its sugar and pineapple plantations, has become a haven for entrepreneurs who want to balance work with play. James Laurel and Richard Chan of Aspect Software Engineering in Honolulu had a difficult time when they first started their company in 1991. In 1994, however, the tides changed for them and all computer-related engineers in Hawaii. The rise of the Internet has practically eliminated the 2,500 mile ocean barrier that Hawaii has always acutely felt. Technology is taking a leading role and making Hawaii's future look very prosperous.
PAHALA, Hawaii (AP) -- Leafless monkey pod and browning Norfolk pine trees litter Ted Seaman's 3.5-acre nursery in the small town of Pahala on the southern edge of Hawaii's largest island. His skill as a grower isn't to blame. It's the noxious fumes that have been pouring out of the Kilauea volcano in unprecedented volumes since last spring.
