We kept driving up, up and up some more. As we finally reached the summit where the lodge was located we were at our destination. Then we headed to the trail head where we went down, down, down and more down until we saw the most breathtaking drop off and steep canyon walls you can have without a helicopter ride.
"Stay away from the edge," I heard a few times as I thought to myself that seemed obvious. Obvious until I kept wanting to see the bottom, but we were so high that might have been tough. The views were difficult to get focused in a camera as the depth perception was a tough thing to capture.
The dirt was a dark brown and reddish color where we get the idea of the "Original Dirt Shirt" color from in the shops where you can buy t-shirts, and it was ash and gravel mix. The best part was getting to eat a flower as I walked on the trail and see some of the vegetation. But by far the coup de grace was of course the waterfalls. Our guide was pleasant and had lots of information and in fact I wanted to go on other tours that they offer like Kayaking on the Ocean and some of the other hiking things but that is probably for another trip. You can see the lodge where we were and get a chance to see the "Hawaiian Emus" that watched us eat lunch. Yes, Hawaiian Emus, that is for my hiking companion Melissa.
We hopped into the back of an army person ell carrier and like soldiers heading off to battle we had our gear, harnesses and helmets. The wet weather was welcome because it kept us cool and hydrated as the anticipation sucked the water from our system making us swallow hard. This would normally be the description from a military blogger, but this describes the scene as we headed off to our zipline adventure.
dicated that if we dropped our flip cameras they would be gone forever. Yes that is a long time. I was hoping at this point that we would not drop ourselves and be gone forever. The thing is this adventure is probably more safe than any other excursion I was doing while here in Hawaii. 
I stood on the bow of the catamaran and the wind and salt cleansed my face of stress and renewed my belief that you can truly feel the tension leaving your body. I was quiet except for the sea and the beauty before me. I cannot begin to describe the surroundings and the feeling, so I will let you come and experience it yourself.
I always make fun of drinking from the "social media firehose." People always ask how I can possible follow nearly 8,000 people on Twitter, and read 10,000 RSS feeds a week, and on and on. I have developed the skill over time. Being here in Hawaii is a lot like drinking from the Paradise Firehose.
I have always been a child of television. I was born at the height of when television broke on to the scene as the next big thing, and I was doused with it’s essence from day one. To that end I have some things that are a part of my DNA I believe that makes me drawn to it like a moth to flame. That lure is now spilling over to my job here at One By One Media. I have taken One By One Media to the television. In my own mind anyway. I am feeling like Johnny Carson these days doing his thing.
I am trying to wrap my had around the idea that
