Aloha Friday is here...

Aloha everyone...Aloha Friday is here...

If you're here in Hawaii, that means it's time to get the barbecue ready for the weekend, make sure you have enough of long rice in your cabinet and Kailua Pig by the large numbers is on its way to your kitchen. It's time to party with your family. The weekend is here!

If your everywhere in the planet but not here in the best place in the world - Hawaii - of course, Aloha Friday might mean everything and nothing to you, as it is something accustomed to the local traditions and the way of living here on the Islands of Aloha.

So if you're coming to visit you must know this: Aloha Friday means casual Friday, when everybody seems to be more laid-back looking forward to the weekend's promise of pure leisure and fun. Even most businesses in Hawaii are keeping up with highlighting the Aloha Friday true spirit by allowing their employees dress more casually, which refers to Aloha shirt for men and a very flowery tropical dress for women, called Mumu. That tradition is over a century old as it was inspired by a simple worker's shirt and then became more popular in the 1920 and 1930. A short-sleeved shirt that its bold print truly resembles the tropical motifs found in the island's artwork, was not considered a proper business attire at the time, considering as well the fact that it was worn untucked. That was the reason for the Hawaii Fashion Guild in 1966 to successfully establish upon their winning campaign that the Aloha attire can be only worn on Friday. That's how Friday became designated for the Aloha Spirit wear...

Well I'm heading off for a beautiful drive along the Windward (eastern) coastline of the island of Oahu. I'll be exploring more exquisite vacation beach rentals made available to me by team at Trinity Properties, rich in experience but also like this island living up to the Aloha Traditions.

Over the weekend myself and my dear friend Alicia will dive in the pristine waters of Lanikai and play with the fish, snorkel and give our feet the spa treatment of the golden sands...
I'll also check and bring you closer to what is very hot attraction wise this time of the month...

And what about you? If you're dreaming about the Hawaiian vacation, check some of one of a kind luxury properties that I reported to you, earlier this week. While there is more to come to your and my delight, I already know there is nothing as breathtaking as Lanikai, and the properties that were carefully chosen by the team at Trinity Properties.

Do you know what will be the main topic of conversation today?...yes..Aloha Friday...
And this is how is going to sound:
"It's Aloha Friday cuz! Where you like go dis weekend?
Translation for you: I" can't believe it's Friday already! What do you feel like doing this weekend?"

I say Aloha as I'm singing away the very Hawaiian song by the very loved ad recently passed away Don Ho:" E Lei Ka Lei Lei"....lalalala.." the higher the mountain, the cooler the breeze"...
.."the younger the couple, the tighter the squeeze...."
