Islands within Islands
From time to time I write for the Hawaiian Airlines magazine, Hana Hou! Yes, it is as nice as it sounds, and yet the assignments, on occasion, can be ambitious and even a little daunting—like the time I was asked to scale every summit in the Hawaiian Islands. OK, so that is not quite the same as dodging bullets on gang turf, but as you can see from my grimace, standing atop the cinders of Mauna Kea, at 13,796 feet above sea level, is not exactly a luau, either. The piece, “Seven Summits,” ran in the December 2009/January 2010 issue.
