How
we got started building web sites about Hawaii vacations
I started building web sites about Hawaii when we (my wife Robin, my two kids,
Jasmine and Spencer, and I) moved to Maui in 1997. I was amazed by the natural
beauty of Hawaii and wanted to first do something to help protect the natural
wonder of Maui. So, I built
EcoMaui, a guide to Maui for
the ecologically gifted. It features links to virtual tours and ecotourism
organizations on Maui. Jasmine, who was 8 at the time, suggested that I should
also build
EconoMaui, a guide to
Maui for the economically challenged.  Turns out being a discount tourist in
Hawaii is one of the best ways to do the least ecological damage. Those two
sites formed the core of our Maui web presence, which quickly spread to include
vacation rentals, car rentals, real estate,
Travel & Regional Magazines, and more.
It was sad leaving Maui in 1998, but we stayed in touch with our friends, and
we've helped them move their sites about Hawaii to the top of the search engines
for their particular keywords. We have a lot of friends with
Maui vacation rentals. Our friend Jack owns a
discount Hawaii car rental business that doesn't stand there with a stop
watch when you're late. Jack's wife, Jackie, makes
organic Maui perfumes and body
butters. Our friend on the big island of Hawaii grows
organic Kona coffee on his organic farm.
Our friend in Lahaina is a
Maui Hawaii real estate buyer's broker. We have friends in the commuter
airline business who offer discount airline tickets for island hopping.  We
have friends who are into
Maui activities
with activity equipment rentals, guided tours and hikes, snorkeling trips, and
local grinds (food). So if you're looking for Hawaii information about Hawaii
travel and Hawaii vacations, you've come to the right place.
Talking a Little Hawaiian Back Story
We figured the net needed a lot more of Hawaii pictures, so, in August of 2001
Spencer and I went back to Hawaii for two weeks, which is far too short a visit.
We have a photo tour of that Hawaii vacation.
It features the great pictures we took, mostly with a wide-angle lens, sized as desktop wallpaper pictures.
These are free backgrounds of Hawaii
pictures, folks, so feel free to make a calendar out of them, use them as
your computer backgrounds or desktop wallpaper, or just hang them up on your corkboard. All we ask is
that you tell people where you got them, or even link to hawaii-stuff.com from your
site or blog, and
that you take the time to look around all the other cool stuff we have here!
When you buy posters, books, maps, music,
or airfare, you help us keep
this site going! If you book one of our Maui vacation rentals you help our
friends stay in business offering inexpensive lodging in
Hawaii! And finally,
join our mailing list so we can keep you up-to-date about all the great free
Hawaii stuff we'll be adding here in the future. We're featured on Hawaii
Search!
