Kaneohe Bay Oahu
Aloha in the Hawaiian language means affection, love, peace, compassion and mercy. Since the middle of the 19th century, it also has come to be used as an English greeting to say goodbye and hello.
It is also the state nickname of Hawaii, the “Aloha State”. But for many people Aloha is a way of life, that affects everything one does in their personal lives or business.
When you listen to the music of Slack Key Guitar Master Jeff Peterson (see side bar youtube) then too you can instinctively understand just what the word Aloha means — Jeff Peterson is traveling in China right now on tour with a group of Hawaiian musicians playing for the first time in some of China’s most upscale resort Hotels.
Then there is Dale Hope, the creator of the definitive book on Hawaiian Aloha Shirts. He has spent his life time researching and creating some of the finest Hawaiian shirts motifs and prints.
