Hello kruzin with Kelsey followers…. There’s a few. If you didn’t know our island was burnt to a crisp. Lahaina town was leveled by hurricane force winds that fulled a massive fire. And large fires happend over the other side of the island as well, many lives were lost along with homes and pets. And jobs. Including my husbands. We are so very sad. If you are able to donate to anything here on Maui. Please reach out. I know a few families personally who lost homes we can donate directly too. Fortunately my family and my home were not threatened. We are however trying to figure out how to support our three kids with no job. We will get through this, and we will rise up. Please keep Maui in your prayers as this is a hard time for all of us. ALOHA. Ps. If you got to experience Lahaina town…. Feel grateful, because it’s completely gone.

Hi kruzin’ with kelsey peeps…. Now that I’m out of hibernation and moved to the big island, feel free to plan your trips 🤪. If you haven’t visited big island before. It’s incredible and BIG. There’s so much to see. And I’m thinking maybe to start some tours again. Oh and I had a baby for my past guests who didn’t know 🥰 I took this photo when the volcano erupted and I was 9 months pregnant. Great idea I know😅

Not the greatest video of all time... because I wanted to see it with my eyeballs. Also, I’m pretty sure they were trying to make a baby monk seal. They are one of the only two mammals native to Hawaii, and I’ve never seen two adults together! How cool!

My guest was telling me he read that monk seals sleep with only half of their brain at a time!?!? Gotta look into that one.

Maui has some incredible waterfalls, and most require quite a distance to be traveled. But, man is it worth it!🤤

Proud to say I have canceled my tour tomorrow in support of
I am blessed to call Hawai’i my home and am ready to fight for what is right. I haven’t been to the big island yet, but every time I see it I fall in love. I admire the power of the people, and know if we keep fighting, we will win. Here’s to the PROTECTORS of Hawai’i nei.

The Shaka!🤙🏼

THE ORIGIN OF SHAKA: “Hang loose,” “Right on,” “Thank you,” “Things are great,” “Take it easy” – in Hawaii, the shaka sign expresses all those friendly messages and more. As kama’aina know, to make the shaka, you curl your three middle fingers while extending your thumb and baby finger. For emphasis, quickly turn your hand back and forth with your knuckles facing outward.

As the story goes, that ubiquitous gesture traces its origins back to the early 1900s when Hamana Kalili worked at Kahuku Sugar Mill. His job as a presser was to feed cane through the rollers to squeeze out its juice. One day, Kalili’s right hand got caught in the rollers, and his middle, index and ring fingers were crushed.

After the accident, the plantation owners gave Kalili a new job as the security officer for the train that used to run between Sunset Beach and Kaaawa. Part of his job was to prevent kids from jumping on the train and taking joyrides as it slowly approached and departed Kahuku Station.

If Kalili saw kolohe (mischievous) kids trying to get on the train, he would yell and wave his hands to stop them. Of course, that looked a bit strange since he had only two fingers on his right hand. The kids adopted that gesture; it became their signal to indicate Kalili was not around or not looking, and the coast was clear for them to jump on the train.

According to a March 31, 2002 Honolulu Star-Bulletin story, Kalili was the choir director at his ward (congregation) of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) in Laie. Even though his back was to the congregation, worshippers recognized him when he raised his hands to direct the choir because of his missing fingers.

Kalili also served as “king” of the church fundraiser – complete with a hukilau, luau and show – that was held annually for years until the 1970s. Photos show him greeting attendees with his distinctive wave.

The term “shaka” is not a Hawaiian word. It’s attributed to David “Lippy” Espinda, a used car pitchman who ended his TV commercials in the 1960s with the gesture and an enthusiastic “Shaka, brah!” In 1976, the shaka sign was a key element of Frank Fasi’s third campaign for mayor of Honolulu. He won that race and used the shaka icon for three more successful mayoral bids, serving six terms in all.

In Hawaii, everyone from keiki to kupuna uses the shaka to express friendship, gratitude, goodwill, encouragement and unity. A little wave of the hand spreads a lot of aloha.

I love having kids on tour! They are always so excited and amazed by this beautiful world around them!

This cool chick had always wanted to see a field of sun flowers. Good thing this private tour guide knows where to find all the best spots!

Such an amazing sunset after an all day rainstorm yesterday.
Today the radar is clear so we’re headed for the jungle!!
Stay tuned for raging waterfall photos!

Surfers who brave waves during a storm are true daredevils. The ocean is so unforgiving yet there is little fear in the crazy souls who risk it for the ride. That’s passion right there.

The sunrise at secret beach. So peaceful and crisp. Beaches like these are best in the early hours of the morning. There empty of people and the sand is flat and unmarked by human footprints. Almost like your discovering it for the first time.
I never know what type of people will get in personalities from all over the world.
This couple met in the military based in Germany, as true Texans they have fought for our freedom. Misses served for 28 years and jumped out of plenty of perfectly good airplanes. The pressure is off once I find out you’ve been skydiving, because I know your crazier than me! But they were a blast and we’re going out again on Friday to see the rainforest! Rainy weather made Hana hwy not safe to drive but it turned out to be perfect because Makana is beautiful in the morning.

If summer and winter can get along, we all can 🌲❄️🌴
