Hawaii - Jeff Campbell [501]
Amanda C Gregg
Mahalo to the poetry that is Kaua’i. Thanks to Greg Benchwick, commissioning editor Emily Wolman and Luci Yamamoto for guidance and influence; to Mohala and Danita Aiu, Gil Chang and Davianna McGregor for inspiration and support; to district health officer Dileep G Bal and his wife, Muktha, for treating me like a daughter; to my family, Donald, Bettina, Kimberly and Timothy, for unconditional love and unprecedented generosity; to Imaikalani, ku’uipo, koa haku mele, for profound love: here’s to you.

Much mahalo must go to all those that helped with this edition – first my wonderful commissioning editor Emily Wolman, my O’ahu co-author Sam Benson and the rest of the Hawaii 9 team. Cheers to the many people who helped so graciously while I was on the road: Jeff Bushman, Kyle Bernhardt, Grace Dixon, Ann Shaver, Ned Myopus, Adrian Nankivell, Toby Stanton, Chase Jarvis, Celeste Brash and Kieran O’Leary. Many thanks to Jack Johnson and Eddie Vedder for providing the soundtrack, and as always to my wonderful wife Sophie – for everything. Aloha.

I’d like to thank my family, and especially my mother who scrimped and saved so we could all get our first magical taste of Hawaii back in 1978 (and so I could decide which was right: the Brady Bunch holiday version or the tire-screeching melodrama of Hawaii Five-0 – surprise! neither). And to Erin who helped me discover love on Molokai’i. For this book, Kepa Maly was a Hawaiian treasure and the font of Lana’i knowledge, while on Molokai’i I offer a group hug to the scores of folks who were happy to talk story for hours about the island they love.
Luci Yamamoto
Mahalo nui loa: to Jon Letman of NTBG, Andrea Brower of Malama Kaua’i and Richard Sugiyama, my Kaua’i insiders; to Rosemary Smith, Chris White and Michaelle Edwards for their generosity during my research trip. Much aloha to O’ahu author Sam Benson for invaluable advice and camaraderie. To commissioning editor Emily Wolman, co-author Amanda Gregg, coordinating author Jeff Campbell and fellow island authors: you made a great team (a hui hou!). Special thanks, as always, to MJP and to my family.
