AN IMPORTANT NOTE

The world is a dynamic place. Hotels change ownership, restaurants hike their prices, museums alter their opening hours, and busses and trains change their routings. And all of this can occur in the several months after our authors have visited, inspected, and written about, these hotels, restaurants, museums and transportation services. Though we have made valiant efforts to keep all our information fresh and up-to-date, some few changes can inevitably occur in the periods before a revised edition of this guidebook is published. So please bear with us if a tiny number of the details in this book have changed. Please also note that we have no responsibility or liability for any inaccuracy or errors or omissions, or for inconvenience, loss, damage, or expenses suffered by anyone as a result of assertions in this guide.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Martha Cheng came to Hawai'i for a boy and stayed for its food, ocean, and people. She is the former food editor of Honolulu Magazine and now writes feature stories for local and national publications on everything from squash farms in Waimea to fly fishing in Maui. Originally from San Francisco, shes a former pastry chef, line cook, food-truck owner, Peace Corps volunteer, and Google techie. These days, she surfs, eats, and writes.

Jeanne Cooper fell in love with the real Hawai'i on her first visit in 1998, after growing up with enchanting stories and songs of the islands from her mother, who had lived there as a girl. The former editor of the San Francisco Chronicle travel section, Jeanne writes frequently about Hawai'i for the newspaper and its website, SFGate.com, home of her Aloha Friday column and Hawaii Insider blog, and for magazines such as Sunset and Caviar Affair. She has also contributed to guidebooks on her former hometowns of Boston, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco.

Shannon Wianecki grew up in Hawai'i swimming in waterfalls, jumping off of sea cliffs, and breakfasting on ripe mangoes. An award-winning writer and editor, she writes feature stories for numerous travel and lifestyle magazines. Having served 8 years as food editor for Maui No Ka Oi Magazine, she knows the islands restaurant scene as well as her own kitchen. She once won the Maui Dreams Dive Companys pumpkin-carving contest.
