Trans World Airlines history dates all the way back to 1930 when they had the aviation pioneers like Charles Lindbergh and Jack Frye helping them build their brand as “The Airline Run by Flyers.” TWA was the chief rival to Pan American Airways for international travel, beginning in the 1940's. Their all-jet fleet was recognized all over the world and their trailblazing contributions to airport design helped revolutionize the industry. TWA went through multiple bankruptcies in the 1990's before merging with American Airlines in 2001.

Today, the three-hour drive to Hana is a popular tourist attraction, famous for its rich cultural history and exquisite natural landscapes. In 1962, the Hana Highway formed when 52 miles of land were paved to connect Kahului in east Maui to Hana. Although 56 one-lane bridges and 617 curves in the road make the highway a famed tourist attraction, the historical sites along the drive are a window into Maui’s cultural past. Popular sites include the cave where the wife of Hawaii’s King Kamehameha I, Queen Ka’ahumanu, was birthed, and the grave and home of Charles Lindbergh, the first American aviator to fly the world’s first transatlantic flight. Beautiful waterfalls, tropical gardens, unique Hawaiian shops, and intriguing historical sites reveal the renowned beauty of Maui along the road to Hana.

Believe it or not, Hawaii does, indeed, have an interstate highway. Now, you ask, how can an island have an interstate highway? Well, U.S. law states that federal highway funds can be used as long as the proposed highway connects military bases. Oahu’s Honolulu Highway, known to locals as  “H1,” connects Pearl Harbor with Diamond Head, which used to be home to Fort Ruger. The first portions of the H1 opened in 1953, and over a half century later, H1 still enables locals and visitors alike to explore the beautiful island of Oahu. There are also interstates H2 and H3, which completed in 1997, has arguably some of the most beautiful views of any US highway.

Originally founded in 1946 under the name Trans-Pacific Airlines, Aloha Airlines was launched by Ruddy F Tongg, Sr. with the concept of having an airline to connect California, Hawaii, and China.  In its earlier years, the company was focused primarily on inter-island flights in Hawaii and its service quickly led to the airline earning the nickname "The Aloha Airline", a name which was incorporated into the official name TPA-The Aloha Airline in 1950.  In 1958, the company dropped the TPA portion of its name and would move into the future under the Aloha Airlines name.  During the late 50's and into the 60's, Aloha Airlines would remain near the front of the rapidly evolving airline industry technologies.  They were the second airline in the United States to move completely to a strictly turbine operated fleet.  By 1966 they were already making the push into an all-jet fleet that would eventually feature Boeing 737-200 jets that were fondly nicknamed "Funbirds".  Aloha would continue to offer inter-island service as well as flights to the US Mainland until it eventually ceased operation in 2008.  Although Aloha Airlines no longer operates it played a significant role in Hawaii's aviation history and opened up access to Hawaii's islands to generations of passengers.

As with many early air carriers, Western Airlines began in 1925 as a mail carrier service.  Based in California, Western went through many stages over its sixty plus year existence.  When it began serving as a commercial airline it initially focused on the Western United States.  In 1969 it began offering service to Honolulu and Hilo with high end service which they called The Islander routes.  During its prime in the 1970's and 1980's Western increased it's service to Hawaii and also offered flights to Kahului and Kona.  In 1986 Western entered into a merger with Delta Airlines, and the Western Airlines name was retired.

Green Sea Turtles are the only indigenous reptile found in Hawaii, meaning that they arrived there with no outside influence from humans. It is one of seven species that has been alive for 110 million years, swimming with dinosaurs and surviving various earth shattering events that wiped out the dinosaurs and mammals. The Honu, or Green Sea Turtle, represents good luck and wisdom in the shape of Aumakua, a guardian spirit. It symbolizes navigators and the immortal connection between the land, the sea, and man. A Hawaiian legend speaks of a huge turtle that shapeshifts into a youthful Hawaiian girl, Kailua, that acts as a protector of Keiki (children) splashing along the shores of Punalu’u Beach.

Honu's Power:

Honu will have your back and protect you!

In Hawai’i, Laka is one of Pele’s sisters and is the guardian of the woodland in the story of Hi’iaka. She is said to be the deity of hula, fertility and the red lehua blossoms. Legend says that Laka first danced the hula in Kaana on Molokai and from there she traveled to each island teaching the dance to anyone who wanted to learn. Yellow, lei flowers, and dance symbolize Laka. She is also known as the goddess of the wild woods and plants. Rain connects Laka to her husband, Lono because she is affiliated with the wholesome elements of rain and light. Hawaiian chants seek not only love, but wealth because laka means “gentle, docile, attracted to.”

Laka's Power:

Laka will help you master the hula!

Geckos are ubiquitous throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Various adaptations have helped them to survive, one of the most important being the gecko’s tail. They help them balance their weight when they are climbing trees to eat the juicy Hawaiian mangoes. If a predator seizes its tail, the gecko is able to shed it in order to escape. For Hawaiians, geckos represent a powerful magical lizard known as Mo’o who is able to communicate with the gods. The Mo’o, with the ability to shapeshift and agile footing, are regarded as one of the most ancient and powerful guardian spirits. Their wisdom comes through dreams.

Gecko's Power:

Gecko gives you the ability to go with the flow!
