Waikiki has been dead for many years, and many travelers complain that there is nothing new to do, especially at night.

Throughout my life in Hawaii, I've become close friends with many Hawaiians and locals with other South Pacific heritage backgrounds and have heard their ideas, comments and hopes of how they wish to preserve their cultures.

I'm taking every penny out of my pocket to make this work. I'm just a nameless small potato trying to make this dream come true.

People are traveling to other destinations -- we want to bring them back to Hawaii.

It's risky, I know. No one else wanted to take this risk so this space sat. I'm a small lady, but I've got the guts of a big ocean.

We have sort of a submarine program, we are not getting the limelight. But in the long run, it will be very interesting to see who comes out ahead.
