Mauna Kea Beach Hotel announces new reopening date
 December 20, 2008—that’s when the long-shuttered Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on Hawaii’s Big Island will reopen to guests. The resort had announced a January 2009 reopening date earlier this year.
The 43-year-old luxury resort shut down after an October 2006 earthquake caused structural damage. More than $150 million has been invested in the Kohala Coast resort’s renovation.
There are fewer guest rooms to reserve—258 instead of 310. But, as these new photos show, they’re larger and completely refurbished from beds to baths to amenities...

 Digital TV in Hawaii comes early for endangered birdDigital TV in Hawaii comes early for endangered bird
 A government-funded technological innovation threatens the livelihood of an entire species on their tropical island home. Sounds like a plotline worthy of the Sci-Fi Channel, but it’s true. You’ve probably seen advertisements for the nationwide mandatory conversion from analog television to a digital feed, scheduled for February 17, 2009. However, in Hawaii the switch to digital TV will take place about a month earlier—on January 15. Why’s that? An endangered, volcano-dwelling bird called the Hawaiian petrel. The petrel, or ‘uaĘ»u, is a small, nocturnal bird with a chirp that has been compared to th...
