It's Friday the 13th! I am hoping that makes it a lucky day for me. It's been yet another tough week on the home front for many non-travelers, so maybe some travel reads will help to lift our spirits. Have a look at these....

Talk about a gorgeous sunset! I must have said this before, but I'll say it again: I love Hawaii. I'm almost positive this photo's been enhanced, but I have to say sunsets in Hawaii actually look like this all the time. Really.
Today's photo comes to use from arbpdx1, who has a ...Galley Gossip: Oahu, Hawaii - Ko Olina Beach Club timeshare vacation deal
Sep 18th, 2009 at 9:30AM: We were in Hawaii at the Ko Olina Beach Club in Oahu when the woman standing in front of the black board asked, "Do you honestly think you travel differently than everyone else? That what you're looking for in a vacation is not what everyone else here wants."
As I glanced at the others staying at the resort, most of whom were either families vacationing with children under the age of five, like ...Oahu's Best Beaches
Jul 20th, 2009 at 6:00PM: It's time to take a trip around the ever-famous island of Oahu for a beach bopping bonanza (I couldn't help myself with the alliteration)! There are so many worthy beaches on this small but populated island that I'll be breaking down my favorite beaches all the way around. There are seven of 'em (there was no way I could narrow down the list), so let's get started. Magic Island: Your visit to ...Daily travel deal - Hawaii 9 day island hopper package from $915
Apr 24th, 2009 at 12:00PM: I'll admit right away that our daily travel deal for today is not exactly "budget friendly", but that does not mean it isn't a scorching travel package deal! Starting at $915, you'll fly from the Continental US to Honolulu, spend three nights on Oahu, then fly to Kauai, spend three nights there, then on to Maui, and (you guessed it!), spend your final three nights there before flying back to the ...Is There Trouble in Hawaiian Paradise?
Nov 20th, 2008 at 10:30AM: A recent article in the Wall Street Journal might just be over-exaggerating the tourist slump that is taking place here on the Hawaiian islands. As the article puts it, "dozens of pool chairs and canopied cabanas sat empty... restaurants had plenty of free tables... In town, "50% Off!" signs hung in the windows of many souvenir shops." I'm pretty sure this can be the case if you're walking around ...The Triple Crown of Surfing: Reef Hawaiian Pro
Nov 16th, 2008 at 5:00PM: The Triple Crown of Surfing got off to a mammoth start on Thursday with wave faces reaching over 20 feet for the Reef Hawaiian Pro at Ali'i Beach in Haleiwa. Each event in the Triple Crown undergoes a 12-day waiting period and usually takes 4-5 days to complete. Thursday and Friday saw big, clean conditions for both days, but the surf will wane over the next few days and the Men's Final date and ...Hawaii's most popular state parks
Feb 10th, 2008 at 1:30PM: If you're heading to Hawai'i and want to find out the state parks travelers find the most appealing, check out Hawai'i Tourism Authority''s "2007 Hawai'i State Park Survey." According to the findings, 10.1 million people visited Hawai'i State Parks in 2007, 2/3 of them out of state visitors. The survey helped produce a 98 page PDF file report with loads of information useful to the state park ...Disney to Open Family Resort in Hawaii
Oct 5th, 2007 at 10:30AM: Walt Disney Parks & Resorts announced Wednesday it has bought 21 acres of oceanfront property on the western side of Oahu that it will use to build an 800-room hotel complex. It won't be Disneyland Hawaii, but even without a theme park there will be plenty to entertain the family. Disney Parks & Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo assures locals that the resort will emphasize Hawaiian culture. ...Photo of the Day (6/27/07)
Jun 27th, 2007 at 3:07PM: In all my days spent on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, I never once saw this turtle or a sunrise in Mokolua. I have said many times that my days on Oahu are done, but this shot here makes me wonder if I might be missing something more. Thanks to Rob Webster for plugging this one into the Gadling Flickr pool. Very nice shot! ...Photo of the Day (10/7/2006)
Oct 7th, 2006 at 1:22PM: Despite the box or object obstructing our full view of this very, very flexible fire dancer in Hawaii, I still think it's a good shot. Taken by snwbeast during some time spent at Hilton Waikoloa Village, I'm a little jealous I never saw any fire dancers as intense as this resident dancer here. If you look closely you'll see both his head and his feet touching the ground at the same time, while ...Sounds to Sail to the Islands
Jun 27th, 2006 at 9:25PM: Sit listening to my music collection on party shuffle for an hour and you'll find I'm all for jarring sound transitions. Follow me closely here. Music is about movement. It's about the flowing, swaying, and gyrating movement of bodies rocking harmoniously on packed dancehall floors in places with little ventilation. Sometimes it's sudden and spur of the moment while others it's calculated. ...
