REMEMBERING IZ

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole died 10 years ago, but his music remains a legacy. To commemorate his contributions to Hawaiian music, we've created a special Web site with stories, interactive material (including an 'ukulele lesson) and video to bring readers memories of the beloved Iz.

BEST SUNSET CRUISES

STAR OF HONOLULU SHINES

According to the June issue of Coastal Living magazine, Honolulu's Star of Honolulu is the fourth- best sunset cruise in the country (and Mexico). The four-deck 1,500 passenger ship comes in behind New York City's Celestial, the Wind and Wine in Key West, Fla., and San Francisco's Alcatraz Night Tour. The Star of Honolulu offers four dining options, including a seven-course, French-style meal. You can see the full story at www.coastalliving.com.

FINAL WORD

"I'm programmed to handle anything. But I was still like, 'Damn, you eat all that?' Even I don't eat that much."
