He goes to Hale'iwa for a dip, tries a hula lesson at Diamond Head, shops at Longs in 'Ewa Beach for macadamia nuts and Saloon Pilot crackers, then hits Chinatown and Ala Moana. His trip to the Islands inspires a Hawaiian twist on his round the world gift-giving. Illustrated with amusing images of a laid-back Santa, this is a good gift choice for former Islanders living away from home.
