Isolated Molokai has long lured the intrepid off Hawaii’s well-worn tourist paths. The 260-square-mile island, home to just 7,000 residents, is proudly and fiercely resistant to change. If you can embrace the dearth of man-made attractions and adjust to the slow-paced way of life, you might find yourself relaxing and joining the locals as they wave at passersby.
The bed
Most visitors choose a home stay on Molokai, but this time I tried my luck at the island’s only hotel: Hotel Molokai (1300 Kamehameha V Highway, Kaunakakai; [877] 553-5347. From $170.) Rooms in the ’60s-style Polynesian bungalows can be stuffy — there’s no air conditioning — and lack a cellphone signal, but otherwise have everything you need for a home base. Its Hale Kealoha restaurant serves residents and visitors and features nightly Hawaiian-style entertainment, often starring the owner and head chef.
The meal
Dining out on Molokai means limited hours and fried plate lunches, pasta and burgers. But there are highlights. If you can ignore the fight-or-flight response that kicks in while walking to the Kanemitsu Bakery’s not-so-secret window along a darkened alleyway in after-hours Kaunakakai, you’ll be rewarded with a plastic-bag bounty: piping hot bread rounds halved and slathered with your choice of butter, cream cheese, cinnamon, strawberry or blueberry spread or a combo of all five (follow the alleyway to the right of 79 Ala Malama Ave. Hot bread is sold from 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays-Sundays; inside bakery open 5:30 a.m-5 p.m. Wednesdays-Mondays, cash only). It’s hands-down the best thing I ate on Molokai.
The find
There’s something comforting and hopeful about kites, especially if they’re colorful and hand-sewn. Visitors to the Big Wind Kite Factory (120 Mauna Loa Highway, Maunaloa; [808] 552-2364, basic kites from $35, windsocks from $25-$65), on a windswept stretch of western Molokai, can watch employees stitch the owners’ patterns on several dozen creations daily. My favorite is a diamond-shaped windsock fashioned to look like a Humuhumunukunukuapuaa, Hawaii’s reef-dwelling state fish.
The lesson learned
Most of Molokai’s rewards must be earned, and many of my favorite moments were unplanned. Flash-flood warnings twice canceled a Halawa Valley jungle hike (Adults $60, $35 for kids). To fill the time, I took a dry, dusty walk along a rental-car-impassable track on the northern coast to catch a glimpse of the sacred sand dunes at Moomomi Preserve. On my final day, the 3 1/2-mile round-trip hike to Halawa Valley proved worth the wait. Our small group forded a thigh-high river to reach gushing falls and hidden temples in the valley. Along the way we heard stories about Molokai’s oldest settlement from its longest still-resident family.

Women Finally Get A Spot In Legendary Big Wave Surfing Competition
For the first time in the history of the sport, women will finally get the chance to compete in one of the most prestigious surf contests in the world ? the Titans of Mavericks.
The invite-only contest, which kicks off next month and is held annually at Mavericks surf break in Half Moon Bay, California, only runs when conditions are powerful, perfect and wave heights reach 20-plus feet.
Only men have participated in the contest since its inception in 1999, despite the fact that women have been surfing that dangerous surf break as early as the mid-90s.
That all changed last week after the California Coastal Commission essentially forced Cartel Management, the contest organizer, to include a women’s heat this season or risk the commission denying them a permit to hold the event altogether.
“This means that our sport is going to grow on the women’s side,” Bianca Valenti, an avid Mavericks female surfer, told The Huffington Post. “I’d like to see how this inspires other young women to surf big waves with us because it’s an awesome sport.”

“This means that our sport is going to grow on the women’s side,” Bianca Valenti, an avid Mavericks female surfer, told The Huffington Post. “I’d like to see how this inspires other young women to surf big waves with us because it’s an awesome sport.”
Event organizers have, in the past, considered a small number of women to be included in the contest. But as NPR’s California affiliate KQED reported, “no woman has ever been considered good enough to make the final list.”
That was until September, when a group of female surfers in the newly-formed Committee for Equity in Women’s Surfing sent a memo to the CCC expressing concern for the contest’s historic exclusion of women.
After receiving pressure from both organizations, Cartel announced on Oct. 19 last-minute plans to include a one-hour heat for six women with a $30,000 prize purse.
The announcement came days after the contest had already announced its 24 official invitees ? all of whom are male ? and requested to hold off on a women’s contest until 2018.
“It’s quite simply the right time,” Cartel’s chief operations officer Brian Waters said of the addition of the women’s heat, according to the Santa Cruz Sentinal. “There was no compelling driver other than it was the time to do it.”
The inaugural women’s event is a huge milestone for female big wave surfers, but Sabrina Brennan, a San Mateo Harbor District commissioner who first raised issue with the state Coastal Commission last year, believes that there’s still more work to be done.
A single one-hour heat “does not match up with what the women athletes have asked for,” Brennan told HuffPost, noting that the women’s committee specifically recommended three.
Brennan, who has lived next to the California surf break since 1999, also believes that a woman should be included in the Committee 5, the currently all-male panel that decides which surfers are skilled enough to compete at Mavericks.
These are much-needed changes, Brennan says, for an event that was originally called “Men Who Ride Mountains.”
“I would really love to see women get more recognition for the risks that they’re taking out there,” Brennan said.
On Nov. 2, the California Coastal Commission will vote on whether they will grant Cartel Management a five-season permit to hold the Mavericks event ? essentially guaranteeing the company exclusive rights to be the only contest held at Mavericks for the next few years, since the county only issues one permit per year.
The waiting period for the event runs every year from Nov. 1 to March 31, but the contest is only held if surf conditions are perfect and powerful. It has only run 10 times since 1999.

Best Places to Visit in Malaysia - Malaysia tourism
Malaysia, in Southeast Asia is one of the great destiantions for Asia travel. Here is a list of the best places to visit in Malaysia for Malaysia tourism.
Things to do in Malaysia, things to do in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia holidays, Malaysia tour package.
Kuala Lumpur
The capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, is a common favourite. Unlike most of the cities in the world, it is more than where the visitor lands and then goes off to other places, because Kuala Lumpur itself offers a lot. The beautiful skyline, adorned by Menara KL Tower and Petronas Tower, is a must-see. The Perdana Lake Gardens is another great sight. Excellent transport system is ready to help explore the city sights. The cuisine is a must-try, what with the mix of Malay, Chinese and Indian influence. Kuala Lumpur is one of the best places to visit in Malaysia for Malaysia tourism. Besides, there are many interesting things to do in Kuala Lumpur.
Cameron Highlands
The Cameron Highlands is one of Malaysia’s most extensive hill stations, first developed by the British in the 1920s. It has a population of more than 34,000 people consisting of Malays, Chinese, Indians and other ethnic groups. The Cameron Highlands is renowned for its trails. They lead visitors through the forest to waterfalls and other tranquil spots. Apart from its jungle walks, the sanctuary is also known for its tea plantations and visitors can book several “tea factory” tours.
Malaysian Borneo
In contrast to the bright lights and concrete of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian Borneo offers an abundance of green rainforests and wildlife. It is the third largest island in the world and definitely one of the best places to visit in Malaysia. It often goes forgotten by those who stay mesmerized by the mainland. But one must not miss Borneo’s repertoire of natural wonders. Only a short, cheap flight away lies the options of scuba diving in Sabah, caving in Sarawak, and the many other adventures.
Selangor
Selangor defines the most developed and populated states of Malaysia, closely following the urban sprawl of Kuala Lumpur. It has the National Zoo of Malaysia and a Formula One racetrack. There are theme parks including indoor snow parks frequented by hordes of travellers. It is a hot shopping zone, and the country’s gambling capital, Gentling Highlands. Contrarily, there are the Batu Caves with Hindu shrines.
Langkawi
Malaysia’s best-known holiday destination, Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea. The islands are a part of the state of Kedah, which is adjacent to the Thai border. By far the largest of the islands is the eponymous Pulau Langkawi with a population of about 65,000, the only other inhabited island being nearby Pulau Tuba. Fringed with long, white beaches and with an interior of jungle covered hills and craggy mountain peaks, it’s easy to see why this is Malaysia’s most heavily promoted tourist destination. The most popular beaches can be found on the west coast with a wide choice of restaurants and eateries and some of the best resorts in Langkawi. Langkawi is surely in the list of destination of many travelers in Malaysia holidays.
Penang
Penang is one of the best places to visit in Malaysia. This big island on the west coast of Malaysia is one that the country is proud of, and for valid reasons. For one, its historic capital city, George Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, what with its landmark homes, fort, temples and museums. Penang offers an excellent spread, including some incredible street food. Some of the best treats and tastes are available at the food joints lining the waterfront esplanade named Gurney Drive.
Malacca
The Peranakan city of Malacca is locally spelled as Melaka, and is another of the best places to visit in Malaysia. It is, in fact, a must-visit, because visiting Malaysia and missing the rich cultural, historical and colonial sites is too big a loss. The old town is another UNESCO World Heritage Site, and never ceases to transcend all expectations. Apart from the historic wealth of the place, there is a level of pleasantness in this city.
Perhentian Islands
Located off the coast of northeastern Malaysia not far from the Thai border. The Perhentian Islands are the must-go place in Malaysia for budget travelers. They have some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and great diving with plenty of cheap accommodation. The two main islands are Perhentian Besar (“Big Perhentian”) and Perhentian Kecil (“Small Perhentian”). Both the islands have palm-fringed white sandy beaches and turquoise blue sea.
Taman Negara
Taman Negara, which literally means “national park” in Malay, is one of the oldest tropical rain forest in the world. It features massive trees, waterfalls, jungle treks of various duration and the world’s longest canopy walkways. Several trails enable the visitor to explore the forest without a guide. Taman Negara is a haven for endangered species such as the Asian elephant, tigers, leopards and rhinos, but numbers are low and sightings are very rare. It’s unlikely that you will see anything more than birds, small deer, lizards, snakes and perhaps a tapir.

The Best Places to Visit in Asia
If you have intention to travel Asia, let's give a look for top Asia travel spots here and have the interesting vacations.
Bali
Shangri-La, Elysium, Arcadia, Utopia, and Bali are all synonymous with "heaven." The only difference between them is that you can actually visit Bali. Most of us have never been to this Indonesian IsLand. Yet, the word "Bali" conjures daydreams of the most fantastical landscape: towering volcanoes wrapped in a deep green canopy, sandy shores that slide into turquoise water, and curving coastlines crowned with staggered pagodas. And believe it or not, Bali rarely disappoints.
Hong Kong
To outsiders, Hong Kong can raise a lot of questions: "Is it part of China or not?" "Is it one island or two?" "Do they speak English or Mandarin? Or both?" And foreigners have a good reason to ask them. This territory, made of multiple islands, returned to China's possession in 1997 after more than a hundred years of British occupation.
Tokyo
"Animated" is perhaps the best word to describe Tokyo. Crazy about its anime, Japan's mega city is constantly buzzing with movement—feet clack down sidewalks, cars zoom along streets, subway trains hum below ground, ships cruise in and out. And yet bright lights and loud signs beg you to pause, to break your motion for just one second to pray at the altar of consumerism.
Maldives
A private villa stands over crystal blue water; days finish with orange sunsets that make you hungry for local citrus; gourmet room service and a masseuse are on call to avoid any unnecessary trips from your porch; and the only thing to make you want to leave is the breathtaking coral reef and underwater creatures that demand a scuba session for a proper introduction. This is the Maldives.
Singapore
Renowned as a culinary mecca, Singapore offers travelers a taste of Southeast Asia. The nation's diverse population has brought an international flavor to the local culture. And this fusion has led to the prosperity that takes physical form in the city's mind-blowing skyline.
Seoul
The blue and red yin and yang emblazoned on South Korea's flag represent balance — an ideal that was thrown off-kilter during the Korean War. But after the 1953 armistice, a modern Seoul bloomed anew. Today, the city is characterized by stunning architecture, vibrant culture and a thriving economy — all testaments to Seoul's resilience.
Beijing
China's capital may not be the nation's most populous city (Shanghai), but Beijing hosts the country's most significant cultural sites like the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City. For the best sightseeing weather, plan to visit in spring or fall.
Bangkok
Composed of vibrant neighborhoods, Bangkok is sure to surprise you with its flavorful Thai cuisine and nonstop nightlife. Also, there's no shortage of shopping opportunities here: Peruse goods in a modern mall or discover handmade jewelry on roads lined with stalls.
Kyoto
While Tokyo is Japan's financial and political capital, Kyoto proudly stands as the nation's cultural hub. The city's wealth of historic shrines and temples — 17 of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites — transport visitors back to ancient Japan.
