FAQ: What should you bring on an airplane, asks Carole?\\xa0

Answer: Bring your small luggage and place that overhead if you can. Put your small bag by your feet and in that you will have the things to use on the flight.

What should be in your small bag? Your sweater, a small snack, water bottle, phone, earbuds, and phone charger, toothbrush and floss, and something to read. You should have warm socks in case you feel cold feet.\\xa0 Airlines don\\u2019t always have blankets and pillows anymore. Noise canceling headphones may be the best device you invest in for a long flight. And consider eye covers and a pillow for your neck if you want to sleep. Even If you did check your bag, you still may want to have a change of underwear and t-shirt in case the luggage gets misplaced.\\xa0

Bring your food on the airplane to be sure you get what you want and when you want it. What works well may be fruit and a sandwich. On Southwest Airlines, they no longer give out peanuts. Today, as I am writing this, I was given a choice of Ritz Cheese crackers, Oreos, and corn chips. These are not very healthy options, especially on a five hour cross country flight.

Be sure to stay hydrated. You lose water when you fly. It\\u2019s dry, even if you don\\u2019t feel it. The longer your flight, the more water intake you need.\\xa0

Island Insiders know the best sunrise views.You can take a helicopter tour, or a zipline experience if you wish. I stayed in Kona, on the west side of the island, and drove my rental car to the southernmost point of the USA and then to the eastern area of Hilo. From there, I drove to the Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea Volcano areas, where I saw snow at the peak. I did not hike up there, but had a good view from the Visitor\\u2019s Center. Driving around the island, you are going to need to rent a car to really see the most of this island.

Shave ice is a popular beverage here. Another drink that is unique is Awa. It\\u2019s also known as kava kava. Relaxing, good for anxiety and depression. Very earthy. Milky, minty. Feel a tingle in your mouth. Tongue gets numb. Check for side effects.\\xa0

Marine tourism is very big in Hawaii.\\xa0 60% of marine animals can\\u2019t be seen anywhere else in the world. Get up close and personal with snorkeling or scuba diving. You may need to drive a bit to find what you want, including shark swimming.\\xa0 You will often find spinner dolphins, sea turtles, endangered Hawaian monk seals. Be relaxed when swimming with the sharks\\u2026hammerheads\\u2026and more. They are revered in Hawaiian culture.\\xa0

Parasailing\\xa0

This brings you about 20 stories up, and it is a thrill to be pulled by a boat and then brought back to the ship.\\xa0 Have someone on the boat take your photo for free, instead of the official photographer. Do it if you can for some outstanding views and memories. Make your reservation upon arrival and then show up for a fun adventure. You will need to sign a health waiver for this activity.

Today\\u2019s Mistake- Not taking responsibility for my actions

We all need to be better at taking responsibility for our actions. In my younger years, I often was guilty of wasteful actions and littering from my car window. I regret that now.\\xa0

Kuleana has this meaning: \\u201cResponsibility.\\u201d Other messages that I learned were: \\u201cTake wisdom, make it deep. Be good to nature. Respect the land.\\u201d\\xa0

Don\\u2019t litter in any way and be kind to the land.
