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.
Raiders of the Lost Ark, King Kong, South Pacific, Six Days Seven Nights, and Jurassic Park, this is but a small list of the movies that have been filmed here in the beauty of Kauai. I stood in my spot looking up to the cliffs and then waterfalls and the foam being formed by the waves crashing against the rocks and could see why the big screen wants this awe to be portrayed. I wanted to describe one more thing. The water.
I had a hard time figuring out what color the water was here. I had the opinion of others, a Navy Commander, a man from New Mexico and my other fellow travelers. They all said soe sort of blue, but I had to have a name of it. It was dark, but bright and had with it an awesomeness. I could not think of the blue that I saw, then the Captain said a word. A Hawaiian word that triggered a response in my head. It has nothing to d with color and in fact means "ginger" in the local language but if I had to put a crayon in a box and put acolor on its side that emulates that color or blue, I had found he description–Awapuhi Blue. With due respect to the local people and to Paul Mitchell, I had come up with a description and a catchy nam for my blue. Whenver i describe this blue, my own mind will drift to that colora dn then I will forever have it etched in my database. Thank you Hawaii and to the land island of Kauai for this memory.

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 was not sure what to expect when I got off the plane. Only that is was an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Well all that and more hit me as I went outside to walk a short distance for my bags. 84 degrees and BEAUTIFUL. A short ride to the Royal Hawaiian hotel and I was greeted by a friendly staff wiuth a lei and a shot of punch and ice cold towel. My first question of course was "Wifi?". Free here in the lobby was their response. I wanted to drop everything and record the experience but headed back to my room for a quick check on the Nuggets and Lakers score. Hey, I am a homer through ad through and I have to get the score since I’ll be joining some people tonight from Laker land. 
I have recently launched 
Miami Vice, CSI Miami, these are the things that I refer to when someone talks about the location. I look back to what I have seen on television. Today as I sat on the front steps of a location in Coconut Grove, Florida, (I was told I couldn’t call it Maimi) I had visions of those times looking at blue water, people in shorts and beautiful weather.
I will be speaking at Wordcamp Miami as I did in Las Vegas on "Blogging for A Living", it is a presentation that I have given a number of times and therefore I wont have to prepare more than my usual, but more importantly, and perhaps more fun I will be doing a live radio show from BarCamp Miami courtesy of my client
