Podcasts about Big Island

February 26th, 2015; A young man from the Big Island of Hawaii was on Oahu visiting his grandmother.  He planned to hike the Haiku Stairs, also known as the Stairway to Heaven.  His grandmother warned him it was illegal to hike the stairs and he could be arrested.  Not heeding her warnings, he set off on the hike that morning.  When he didn't return home, he was reported missing, and the search began.  Join us this week as we investigate the disappearance of Daylenn Pua.   Notes & Corrections: - Early in the episode, Joe states Moke was visiting his grandmother on the Big Island.  Mike corrects Joe around timestamp 5:15, stating that Moke was from the Big Island and visiting his grandmother on Oahu.   - There were a lot of discrepancies in our research on the age of Moke and the date he went missing.  We discuss this during the episode, and based on evidence believe he started his hike on the 26th, not the 27th, which is listed in many news reports on this case.     Learn more about Locations Unknown: https://linktr.ee/LocationsUnknown   New Patron Shoutouts: Johnathan Garcia   Want to help the show out and get even more Locations Unknown content!  For as little as $5 a month, you can become a Patron of Locations Unknown and get access to our episodes two days before release, special Patreon only episode (Currently a backlog of 42 additional episodes), free swag, swag contests, your picture on our supporter wall of fame, our Patreon only Discord Server, and discounts to our Locations Unknown Store!  Become a Patron of the Locations Unknown Podcast by visiting our Patreon page.  (https://www.patreon.com/locationsunknown)   Want to call into the show and leave us a message?  Now you can!  Call 208-391-6913 and leave Locations Unknown a voice message and we may air it on a future message!   View live recordings of the show on our YouTube channel: Locations Unknown - YouTube   Want to advertise on the podcast?  Visit the following link to learn more.  Advertise on Locations Unknown   Learn about other unsolved missing persons cases in America's wilderness at Locations Unknown.   Follow us on Facebook & Instagram.  Also check us out on two new platforms - Pocketnet & Rumble.   You can view sources for this episode and all our previous episodes at: Sources — Locations Unknown

Shannon long interest studying Sky Watching, and the Fixed Stars relates to the Native American Sacred Hoop involving a set of fixed stars. “The Ecliptic of the planet of the solar system of the sun's path intersect with the Milky Way, the plane of the galaxy of which our solar system is part. Most intriguingly, this intersection forms a “cross”, formed within the circle. It is an area of the sky associated with originating points or new beginnings over time in multitudes of cultures. Shannon's studied with Cayelin Castell who states 6500 years (ago) the equinox-based calendars emerged when the Spring Equinox was on the Galactic Cross at the Galactic edge inside the Sacred Hoop.” said Sue Minahan, founder, and host of the weekly show. “Star's seemingly fixed position provided a steady placement in the night sky. Served to guide the directions for early peoples to modern times. The fixed stars slow movement transits one degree every 72 years. Currently the Sacred Hoop Stars are in the astrological signs of Gemini and Cancer.” Join Sue Rose Minahan of Kailua-Kona, Big Island of Hawaii with November's Special Guest panel featuring SHANNON HAYES of Sedna, Arizona where the night sky is clear.

 Today, we're going to discuss Hawaii Bungalows and Villas. This question arises frequently, and today, I will clarify what these terms truly mean in the context of accommodations here in the Hawaiian Islands. Recently, a client called me and attempted to compare Hawaii to Bora Bora, which is like comparing apples and oranges.When you hear the terms Villa or Bungalow, certain images come to mind for most people. It typically denotes a detached, separate accommodation with some privacy and possibly two floors. Villas are typically larger than even a standard house and generally are more luxurious.  A bungalow is usually a single-story home with one level or a variation of a raised structure, sometimes over the water. It's usually a bit more rustic and, in terms of vacations, part of all-inclusive resorts in places like Bora Bora, New Zealand, or Maldives. Hawaii's Bungalows and Villas: Myth vs. Reality The truth is, in Hawaii, the terms "Villas" and "Bungalows" don't quite align with their conventional definitions. While these words may conjure images of luxurious, detached properties with sprawling gardens and serene verandas, the reality is often different. In this tropical paradise, these terms are often associated with condominiums, vacation rentals, or resort-style accommodations that provide a taste of the Hawaiian experience but not necessarily the detached opulence you might envision.Let's give you some examples of Hawaii bungalows or villas you may be hearing about. I think the terms are a bit overused and, in some cases, misleading. For example, let's discuss the Royal Lahaina Beach Hotel and Bungalows. I adore the Royal Lahaina for its excellent value and cost-effectiveness when we're trying to stay within our budget on Maui. However, it's important to note that the "bungalows" here aren't precisely what you'd typically envision as bungalows. I can see why they're referred to as such, but the reality differs. These "bungalows" consist of four separate studio rooms (some of which can be connected) within a single building designed to resemble a cottage. Another example of properties labeled as "Villas" but don't quite fit the traditional villa definition are condo-like accommodations. An example is the Kaanapali Villas on Maui. These properties are essentially condos, with some units featuring lofts, which might be where the concept of calling them "villas" comes from. Similarly, places like The Island Colony Villas on the Big Island are more accurately described as condo complexes situated on a golf course on the Big Island. Here are a few more instances where the "villa" label may be a bit of a stretch: Kauai - Koloa Landing- Kalanipuu Villas- The Villas at Poipu Kai Wyndham Bali Hai & Kauai Beach Villas- Westin Princeville Resort VillasOahu- Ko O‘lina Beach Club and Villas - Disney Aulani VillasMaui- Kaanapali Villas- Wailea Beach Villas- Kapalua Villas - Maui Bay villas - Big Island Island Colony - Waikaloa Beach Villas- Fairway Villas The True Face of Hawaiian Bungalows and Villas That being said, there are indeed some remarkable accommodations in Hawaii that come close to providing a true villa experience. However, be prepared to splurge on these options. Here are a few examples of actual villas.Oahu - Turtle Bay Villas - Tiki Moon Villas- Ke Iki Beach BungalowsMaui- Fairmont Kea Lani- Andaz Maui - Montage Maui- Luana Maui- Ho‘olei at Grand WaileaBig Island- Various individually owned villa-like properties- Mauna Lani Villas - Hualalai Villas at Four Seasons In conclusion, while Hawaii offers a wide range of accommodations, the labels "bungalow" and "villa" are sometimes used liberally and may not always align with their traditional definitions. It's important to research and understand the specifics of your chosen accommodation to ensure it meets your expectations.

Since 2002 I haven't missed many Ironman World Championship events. Being on the Big Island during race week is a magical time Having missed a couple since Covid I realise how lucky I've been to be able to travel each October. I also met my wife Beth on the finish line while volunteering so now it has a special place in our hearts. 2023 is one of those years I missed and I'm especially sad about that because the racing was exceptional at both Nice and Kona.   The IRONMAN World Championships have been held in Kona, Hawaii since 1978. Covid forced a change of location to St George for the 2021 race (which had to be held in May 2022), and then in 2022 World Triathlon Corporation experimented with two races on different days. For whatever reason, more changes happened in 2023 so this year we had the mens-only race in Nice in September and then on the usual second Saturday in October we had the female-only race in Kona. Our favourite triathlon journalist Tim Heming was lucky enough  to go to both events and he joins me today to discuss his thoughts on:    Tim's top 10 predictions versus the final results the concept of splitting not just race days but also venues atmosphere in both locations leading up to, and on, race day overall quality of racing not just for the pro athletes but age groupers as well (this is especially poignant given the negative publicity that WTC were receiving before the Kona event) does the split venue format have enough support and momentum to continue after 2025?   If you want to follow Tim for his insights on the world of triathlon you can find him on Twitter (X): @TimHeming   To contact Beth regarding Life Coaching, please email her at Info@BethanyWardLifeCoaching.uk.   To leave a review of the podcast on Apple podcasts CLICK HERE.   Sports Nutrition questions - if you have a sports nutrition question that you would like answered on the podcast, please email it to me via Beth@TheTriathlonCoach.com.   Join our SWAT/High Performance Human tribe using this link, with a happiness guarantee!

British triathlete Lucy Charles-Barclay last month completed a hat trick of World Titles in three years by becoming the 2023 IRONMAN World Champion, finally earning a World Title that had eluded her four times since her pro debut on the Big Island of Hawaii in 2017. Lucy has finished in second place in Kona every time she has raced there before finally breaking the tape as the IRONMAN World Champion in a World's best time of 8:24:31 last month, on a day that will be remembered in sporting history for many years to come for a whole host of incredible achievements by the over 2,000 women who participated in the first ever Women's only IRONMAN World Championship race. Lucy has been on an incredible journey in sport throughout her life, an impressive and driven athlete at a young age, her sights were always set on being the best in class in her chosen sport, whether that was swimming as her first love, to triathlon where she has excelled to become one of the most loved and best triathletes in the world.The 2021 IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion, and 2022 World Triathlon Long Distance World Champion hasn't been on an easy road to becoming a Multiple World Champion.

Planet Buzz's Scorpio panel episode, “Saturn 0° Pisces Direct” featuring special guest, Donna Young, President of Kepler College, inspiring an expansive conversation stretching across the border to Donna's nation of Canada. “Saturn initially entered Pisces last 7 March 2023. Quickly moving through degrees to mid-June when Saturn stationed (apparent) retrograde at 7°13' Pisces. Since then, Saturn's entire retrograde motion has remained in Pisces. Almost resting at 0° for three weeks since 12 October to 3 November when Saturn finally moves direct,” said Sue Minahan, founder, and host of the weekly show. "However, Saturn's remains at a snail's pace through most of November until the 28th when finally, the tempo gradually picks up. The “shadow path”, Saturn's third path crossing the degrees, completes on 7 February 2024. Saturn in Pisces at its highest represents Spiritual discipline, using our responsibility to focus on higher law, which has served to guide humanity in one form or another throughout the millennia's. Compassion for self, for others, for the ocean, for wildlife, for the weary and weak. At its best dissolving barriers and reckoning new authorities.” Join Planet Buzz with Sue Rose Minahan of Kailua-Kona, Big Island of Hawaii, founder of Talk Cosmos and Astrologer/Consultant, long-standing panel member, Dr. Laura Tadd of Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, and honored guest Donna Young of Rural Alberta, Canada.
