Then select a beautiful sterling silver or gold setting, perhaps a ring, pendant or matching earrings. Your pearl will be mounted as you watch. And not only will you have an elegant piece of fine jewelry, but a memory to share with friends – and each other – forever. Original. Authentic. And part of Hawaii for more than 30 years.

Hawai‘i on a Plate

There’s no escaping the influence of the Far East while you’re on vacation. They’re well represented in the islands with Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese ethnic dishes at restaurants, drive ins and take-out places all across the state. Savor some of the most authentic cultural flavors around!

Want to sample a meal that’s most popular with locals? Then order up a plate lunch. The quintessential food of the islands is a plate lunch with its standard “twoscoop rice,” macaroni salad and main entree, usually a protein. It’s what put L&L Hawaiian Barbecue® on the map. Order up a mahimahi, teri beef or chicken katsu plate—or select from a whole menu of choices. Combo or mixed plates are also available. Savor Hawai‘i on a plate!

THIS WEEK BIG ISLAND

Mofl0

™

2 w/ MO2 delivers fresh air on every breath.

Here’s how it works: as you know, trading CO2 (exhale) for O2 (inhale) occurs in billions of alveoli cells in the bronchial tubes & lungs, but not in the 4-6 inches from the trachea to the mouth hole—the stretch known as dead air space. A primitive snorkel triples dead air space, so you re-breathe the same air, which is like wearing the same sox or not changing your skivvies. Burning lungs with a heavy heart & head afflict the snorkeler breathing CO2. Do you really feel like sighing in an elevator? Now comes the FRESH-AIR SNORKEL: Mofl02™ with Jarvic IX-style, aortic valvulation & demarcation twixt in & out more tangible than that between church & state! With a double-valve twin chamber, the Mofl02™ clears easy with a double huff, for no headaches & more umph in your glug. Mofl02™ osmotic convection delivers 99% fresh air on every breath. So GET DOWN & come up to

MoflO O2™ for the day, the week or for keeps.
