I found you through http://twitterlocal.net . Anyways, I'm following your twitter feed now. We live in the Hampstead area. If you are in the Wilmington, NC area as well, perhaps she could add a link to your site here as well. :-) Timothy McDoniel http://timandheike.com Hi, my wife started this website for people living in the Wilmington, NC area.

Kauai agreed to go under his rule to prevent bloodshed. So, it's interesting that even over 200 years later, there's still a different perspective on Kauai. Thanks for sharing that tid bit.

What's interesting is hearing residents of each island explain the story of Kamehameha. On the Big Island, they talk of him unifying the islands... on Kauai they talk of him conquering the islands. Perspective is everything. :) The one in Hilo is kind of eerie at night because it’s all lit up and there isn’t much else around it, we didn’t know who the statue was of at first until someone we were with explained it was Kamehameha.
