An overdue review of the Va-i-Moana Seaside Lodge took me a long time to write. Because of the duties that tagged along with the biggest turnover in my husband’s adult life.

The foreword by James Scott Bell for this particular guide-book awakens me with an impact. That if you dream of getting somewhere, you have to at least seek guidance from those who had gone there already. From those who had gone through the process. You have to listen well and carefully. You have to learn fast. And to grow discreetly…

Experience something different this Christmas season. Watch Fatu Mole Pasifika sizzle onstage with hips swooshing around to the beat of the drums. The Polynesian group will do heart racing slap dance, fire-knife dance and Tahitian dance at Life Base, Pui O. The place where Nas Daily featured the ‘Real Tarzan‘, Jason, will be the site for the said event. Come…
