One of the things that most of the local people here discuss is its diversity. Many of the differernt cultures all come together be it tahitian, polynesian, portugese, japanese, chinese or other ethnic backgrounds, they all have their own language, philosophy and look. The same goes for resorts, hotels and other places we have been staying at here in the Hawaiian Islands.
Some resorts are more into amenities like soap and lotions and spas, whereas others are more into the resort itself with, where it is located and what things you can do while there? It has been interesting to note the different corporate look and feel so far between the Royal Hawaiian we stayed at our first night, the Grand Hyatt and now the Marriott. Each has its own corporate culture underlying the Hawaiian experience. I have had some very nice things about each of the hotels and some not so nice things, but that is after all the diversity I speak of.
As bloggers we have a different approach to our experience. We are not just here to relax and have a good time but weare also here to create and produce some qaulity content. I for one have been trying to live stream my experience and have my viewers go along for the ride, but that has proven nearly impossible since I have not been able to stay connected to the Internet for more than about 10 minutes at a time. I actually received a nasty note from the Marriott as it thought I might be producing questionable content using their lobby Wifi. Huh? I’m promoting your hotel and resort…questionable? Not everyone is into the experience of blogging yet but they will be soon enough. After all the Marriott does have a blogger.
I am now thinking that bringing my own Wifi with a broadband card is the way I should have gone. That is of course until we go today to visit a volcano where even "my network" cannot reach.
