Our Favorite Entertainment Spots
We love being entertained! Most especially, we love the music and dancing. Fred has a Hawaiian heritage (yes, Fred is full blooded Pinoy) due to his mother’s side of the family being born and raised on the island of Kauai, we have been tied close to the culture. This includes the love of Hawaiian music and dance. That being said, we often enjoy going to the locations below for all the music, dance, refreshments with friends and ohana.

AMBASSADOR OF ALOHA
Duke Paoa Kahanamoku was born August 24, 1890 in Honolulu, Hawaii, the first of six sons and three daughters of Duke and Julia Kahanamoku.
He grew up in carefree Waikiki with the ocean as his playground, doing what he loved – mostly swimming, surfing, canoeing and bodysurfing.
At the age of 21 he won his first Olympic gold medal, then went on to represent the United States in the Olympics for 20 years, winning not only medals but the hearts of people all over the world. He is remembered as a swimmer not just for remarkable speed, but for his grace in the water, his good humor, and his sportsmanship.
