A friend of mine runs a website called KonaWeb.com, which is very useful for people visiting, moving or living on the Big Island of Hawaii. Discussions usually include how to ship household belongings, pets and people. Should an earthquake hit, there will be someone posting within minutes “Did you feel it?” messages.

Visitors often ask questions about inexpensive rental cars, what specific hotels are like and where to eat.

Because many of the messages are time dependent, they are not generally archived but flow freely through the forums.

Bob and Shirley have musical backgrounds and Bob also crafts an instrument, a compact, lightweight 3-string upright fretless bass. If you are into music, you should check out Bob’s website at http://KonaWalkingStick.Com

Made from koa or koa and mango, this is a really beautiful instrument both visually and acoustically. There is a forum where users rave about the walking sticks.
