Living in the Spirit of Aloha

In 30 years of being a journalist, I've been paid to write thousands of stories. In the last 20 years,

I've had the pleasure of being the leading writer for golf, private club and resort-style real estate, and my stories have been featured in more than 100 publications ranging from USA Today and the Orlando Sentinel newspapers to Golfweek magazine, and leading lifestyle magazines from the Robb Report to Unique Homes.

But the following story published by the American Resort Development Association in the latest issue of Developments magazine is perhaps one of my most personal and meaningful stories I've ever written. Indeed, if there's ever a time when the hospitality industry - or all of humanity for that matter - truly needs some Aloha, it is right now!

If you have any interest in Hawaii; Disney Vacation Club; Aulani Resort and Spa and travel in general, this story's for you. Please click the sunset photo I took at Waikiki Beach to read my story and share the true meaning of Aloha Spirit.
