Flash News! Korean to Start Coming to Hawaii Visa-Free

I got this from The Garden Island Newspaper, The State and Federal officials announced that tourist from South Korea can start arriving in the U.S. under the new visa-waiver program starting November 17, 2008.

All a South Korean traveler will have to do is carry a new passport, which is bar-coded for identification, and then register for travel authorization online.

South Korean citizens maybe travelling for business or pleasure, but mus carry a round trip ticket or a ticket that takes them to another country and may not spend more than 90 days in the U.S.

Hawaii Tourism Authority has already stepped up marketing efforts in South Korea and now has a Korean Language Website through Hawaii Tourism Korea.

Be Sun Safe on Vacation

"It's not just a beach thing!" A reminder from the American Cancer Society.

According to ACS, parents must take note that avoiding sunburn during childhood and adolescence is very important in reducing the risk of skin cancer later in life and sunscreen is not recommended for children less than six months old that is why we need to keep infants in the shade and protect them with clothing.

Slip! Slop! Slap!

• Slip on shirt


• Slop on sunscreen


• Slap on hat.


• Wrap on sunglasses


• Limit sun exposure

Everyone is at risk for skin cancer, whatever thier skin color. Everyone needs to protect themselves from the sun.
