A Maui Wowie Valentine

2010-12-18T13:41:00.000-08:00

MAUI'S MAGICAL VALENTINE

aerial view of Four Seasons Hotel, MauiA MAUI Valentine
Mystical, magical Maui lures lovers with balmy weather, verdant
mountains, pristine beaches, luxurious resorts and sensuous
sweet air perfumed with the ambrosial scents of plummeria.
The second largest island in this enticing archipelago, l Maui is mystical, magical and filled with wonderful experiences for you and your special Valentine.

Romantic Hotel: The Four Seasons Resort. Graciously Hawaiian with sumptuous guest rooms.
Cupid’s Calling: romantic dinners, side-by-side massages in an oceanside thatched roof
hut-- where the sounds of the waves lure you into nirvana, room service on your private lanai.
Activities: -- a super spa, one of the best stretches of beach in the islands, snorkeling, swimming, rooftop complimentary tennis, use of a fully-equipped gym with steam baths and saunas, a lovely pool flanked by two Jacuzzis. Or simply plotz in cushy chaises by the pool and sip potent Mai Tai's. Stroll down to the beach and pick up snorkel gear at the actitivity center, after your swim you'll find large glasses or ice water placed on your fluffy beach town by attendants who will also cool you off with refreshing sprays of Evian water. To enhance the mood book an outrageously romantic dinner for two.
The Four Seasons 3900 Wailea Alanui Dr., Wailea, Hawaii
800/334.6284 or 808/874.8000. http://www.fourseasons.com/
Beach It: While every beach is beautiful on Maui, Polo and Oneloa (known to locals at Big Beach) provide some of the best swimming and snorkeling in crystal clear waters. Situated a few miles apart at Wailea and Makena both face west offering calm seas, sheltered by the nearby islands of Molokai and Lanai. Big Beach sits in thick kiawe groves that hide it from the road. Polo Beach is best for strolling with soft sand, terrific swimming on a sandy bottom that drops fast and affords super snorkeling. Both offer plenty of privacy if you want to stroll off by yourself.
Sunrise/sunset: nothing beats watching this magnificent orb rise from the 10,0250 foot high volcanic crater of Haleakala (the house of the rising sun). Bathed by hues of gold, amber, rose and jade the eerie ephemeral phenomenon evokes images of the demigod Maui who it's believed snared the sun's rays as they rose above the summit of Haleakala so his mother, the goddess Hina, could have more hours in the day to do her chores. You can drive up on your own or (be sure to pack a picnic basket) or book any of a number of hikes, horseback rides or camping trips (they'll take care of the details). More than 500,000 people make yearly trips to the top of Haleakala. To go it on your own take Route 37 from Kahului to Route 377, turn onto Route 378 and wind your way up. Before reaching the crater you'll come to a national park that is open from 7:30 am to 4 pm. There is an entrance fee. 3 pm. For more information call: 808/572.9306.
Love the Drive: the road to Heavenly Hana Maui-- a 44 spine-tingling miles-long "lover's lane." To enhance the experience rent a jeep, which can handle the zigzagging route. Then set out for the ride of a lifetime that swirls past 617 whirling curves, awesome waterfalls, rain forests, jungles and streams. You'll pass by tiny Hawaiian villages, each centered by a picturesque church, past taro and banana farms, over one-way bridges, high above steep gullies, through microclimates, and rolling pastures until finally arriving at "Heavenly Hana." This verdant, tropical paradise served as the setting for fabled lovers Kauiki and Noenoe who according to legend were forever united by the demigod Maui and later changed them into a hill. It was where Queen Kaahu manu, favored wife of Kamehameha was born in 1768. You can spend the night, or simply do a roundtripper. If your budget can handle it, the luxurious Hana Maui hotel is the only place to stay. Nestled on 23 gently sloping acres, 95 exquisite Southwestern/Hawaii style rooms are spread out in a clutch of single story structures, each with marvelous baths with inviting soaking tubs, large courtly sitting rooms, overhead fans, hardwood floors, and lovely lanais (patios) where on Sundays sounds of Hymns filter in from a nearby church built in 1942 from volcanic stone by volunteers directed by a Yankee "kuhu" (shepherd or pastor). There's a swimming pool, super spa and transportation to a private, secluded beach. For an ultimate experience book in-room "lomi lomi" (Hawaiian style) massages. For additional information call: 800/321.HANA
Shop for Something Special: Front Street in Lahaina: A shopper's paradise for more than a century the oceanside shopping street overflows with cute boutiques, jewelry shops, art galleries, bikini shops and cute restaurants. Pick up an antique map or print of Hawaii at Lahaina Printsellers ltd. in the Lahaina Cannery, or a cool Hawaiian shirt at Crazy Shirts 865 Front St., or some nifty scrimshaw at Lahaina scrimshaw Factory at 845 Front Street.
Spice it up with: whale watching from January to March, call the Pacific Whale Foundation at 808/879.8811); *Windsurfing at Ho'okipa Beach, call: 808/879.4485; * hiking into the rainforest, contact: Ken Schmitt, 808/879.5270; * helicopter rides through awesome rainbows, over Haleakala, and into hidden valleys.
Getting There: splurge on First Class on Hawaiian Airlines http://www.hawaiian.air.com/ . You’ll feel like you’ve already arrived in the islands with the onboard Aloha spirit and gourmet food created by Island chefs like Beverly Gannon.

Does Silversea's Silver Spirit Measure Up to the Rest of the Fleet?

2010-04-03T15:07:00.000-07:00

Ahoy mates, I've been writing about the new Silver Spirit and I finally got a chance to see this spiffy ship up close and personal. We spent the night on board with a few of Silversea's special invited guests. I took photos of the new additions.

I've sailed on Silversea ships before, but this is the larger vessel in the four ship fleet. She can hold around 540 passengers and weighs in at 36,000 tons. (The older Silver Shadow and Whisper carry 382 pax and replace 28,258 gross tons while the Silver Wind totes 298 people and weights 17,400 tons).

The almost all-inclusive Spirit rises 11 decks and features all the amenities of the rest of fleet with a few additions and noticeable Chachanges, Cha-ching changes: there's now a "small" charge for one of the alternative dining rooms ($30 a person plus the cost of wines of $100 or more).

Veranda Suites (ours was 740) measure about 376 sq ft and have a 65 sq ft private balcony. Big changes are the larger bathroom with huge basin and rain shower (there's also a tub) , and flat screen TVs.

One TV is actually part of a mirror, which is rather weird, when you turn if off it's a mirror, switch it on and it becomes small flat screen TV(pictured is the second TV, the mirror TV is placed in front of the bed.

I love Silversea Cruises, but am finding it difficult to accept the change to what feels like a less intimate vessel. It certainly has bells and whistles and upgrades but the product was so perfect before, I'm not sure it needed to be altered.

Perhaps once we sail on a real cruise I'll have a different feeling. I only spent 24 hours on board and we didn't move.Wines, spirits and soft drinks are free on Silversea ships, but some premium pours, like those pictured above, cost extra.

The pool is inviting and well used during cruises, especially by yours truly and her husband. Our routine is a swim before breakfast, followed by a poolside cappuccino, a dip in before lunch and then one at sundown followed by a glass of complimentary champagne at the adjacent pool bar.

Ah the good life.

The ship sailed to Europe today via the Panama Canal and New York. Wish were on board because then I'd know if this newer, bigger ship is any better than her siblings. Until then the jury's out until we take that cruise.

The Top 10 Mascaras For Luscious Lashes Mesmer-Eyes,Sue Devitt, e.l.f, Lumene

2010-04-03T14:53:00.000-07:00

For the past few weeks I've been testing mascaras in my search for the top 10, it's a tough task because so far I like just about every one I've tried--from $3 e.l.f to $95 Lashfood.....keep coming back for more great finds. (Mascaras supplied by companies for my subjective review and testing).

This one will probably take top honors. I just tried it and my eye lashes look sensational, the eyelineris also great and goes on perfectly. It's called Mesmer-Eyes--a new releasefromNapoleon Perdis. The PR person said, "It's like a miracle bra for your lashes!” It sells for $25 and worth every cent.

The magical multi-tasker ensures that your eyes make an impact all day long. Mesmer-Eyes Mascara is a real triple threat offering exceptional volume, superb length and you-go-curl bounce in one amazing new wand. The comb has two sides—use the wide side to boost lashes and the fine side to separate them—which reaches even the wimpiest of lashes and coats them with intense color. The sophisticated emulsion mascara creates a voluminous look and maximum wear every time. The paraben-free formula conditions lashes with vitamin E, D-Panthenol and bamboo, and is lightwearing. Available in regular and waterproof, Mesmer-Eyes Mascara is suitable for contact lens wearers and is ophthalmologist tested.www.napoleonperdis.com

Just entered in the competition: Sue Devitt Amplifying Mascara ($28), it goes on smoothly and really does "amplify" your lashes. I lvoe this one, too. According to press materials, Amplifying Mascara was especially formulated with beeswax that helps thickens lashes. Available at Barneys New York, Ulta, www.Ulta.com and www.Beauty.com, for more details go to: www.suedevittstudio.com.

e.l.f aterproof Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara -- man is this contest getting difficult. I like just about every mascara I try so far. This one's amazing. It's waterproof, tear-proof, sweat-proof and smudge proof--really. The press material lists it at $3 but I can't believe that price. Check out www.eyeslipsface.com.

Lumene Finland Blueberry Curl Mascara, just tried it in "rich black" and it rocks. Love it. Goes on rih and makes lashes long and lustrious. Lumene claims the mascara nourishes with a combination of finnish blueberry seed oil (rich in vitamins A and E as well as essential fatty acids) and an "innovative round sided, plastic, mascara brush that lifts lashes upwards while shaping and cruling." It worked for me. And it's only $9.99, the cheapest yet for such good results. Check it out at www.ulta.com.

Not as inexpensive, but doubly effective, LashFood Conditoning Dram Mascara ($95) gets the job done by defining your lashes, with natural ingredients like biotin, arginine and herbal extrcts hat promote growth and healthy lashes. Love how this one works, too. www.lashfoord.com.

Nailtini's eyetini Magnum Lash-Intensifying Mascara, which I just tried and really like how it made my lashes longer and darker( $18). I also tried eyetini Double Shot double-ended mascara eyeliner--with mascara on one end and a swizzle stick liner on the other. Love the liner, goes on easy and looks great (I wear glasses and always have a problem with liner, this one's fool-proof) ($24). The company has lots more I haven't tried: www.tinibeauty.com. (Mascara supplied to me for testing by nailtini).

I received my first response from a public relation's wizard in Hawaii, Bonnie Friedman(Grapevine Productions), who recommends: "Lancome Definicils - DEFINITELY!"

A Facebook friend, Sally Cooper, writes,"Sally Cooper commented on your post:

"Benefit bad lash, handsdown" -- I don't know this one personally so will have to check it out.

Okay, I did a little web surfing and found the site: www.benefitcosmetics.com, pretty cool, the mascara recommended by Sally s $19

Any more suggestions?

Computer Accessories– new and a must for every computer user on your list. Got mine a couple of days ago and loving it. It’s FreeAgent Go portable drive from Seagate--a moveable feast of all of your data –easily and conveniently transported where ever you go. I’ve been using several flash drives to store docs, photos and important stuff. But now 500 GB provides a one-stop storage for everything, and I can take it with me and plug it into any other PC or laptop. FreeAgent comes in four cool colors (I love the ruby red) and sells for about $179 but I’ve seen a few deals when searching on the web or at http://www.seagate.com/. They also make FreeAgents for MACs. It’s just one of the best presents you can give.
And more digital doos…One of the best perks of my annual Christmas gift guide is testing new products. And only putting those that pass muster on the site. Well, have I got a gift idea for just about anyone on your shopping list.
It’s the sparkling new Vivitar ViviCam T328 12.1 mega pixel HD Vivicam–a camcorder and digital camera in one. I wish it had one last month when I went to a family reunion armed with both a camcorder and camera, would have saved a lot of space in my carry on.
Anyhow I’ve been shooting with the Vivitar T328 and the videos and photos are clear and professional-looking. I like the large 2.4 ” viewing screen, the 8X digital zoom and the ease of use. A child can operate it. Best of all the suggested retail is just $120, a real bargain for what’s packed into one compact case. You do have to go out and buy an SD card though, I was disappointed to discover this, but used one from my other camera and it worked fine. http://www.vivatar.com/

Light up their life with the Guiding Light -- a novel new gadget by Sharpe Products, Inc., that fits over traditional-style mail boxes for night time visibility. Like all the products you see on Pattisprattles.wordpress.com, I personally tested this one and I love it. However because our mailbox is square shaped it doesn't fit on top. But we cleverly placed the light outside our front gate and it works perfect to brightly display our street address and provide added protection from intruders. The solar-powered light really glows in the dark. For a limited time the company is providing shipping and handling with each order. At $79.95, it's perfect for anyone on your list who owns a home or a street side mailbox. Go to http://www.guidingmailbox.com/
