Each and every time I visit a place that they discoverd, I seem to witness naive tourists putting themselves at risk. HELLO!!!! Many of us had no problem finding their hidden gem years before they discovered it! Problem is, since their discovery, many people have died, unnaware of rogue waves and the dangers that exist. I guess we're a victim of our own success."Kauai Revealed "When WE revealed it in our first edition, Queen's Bath was an unknown gem accessible via a vague trail through the jungle and exlusive to our readers. Now if that is not bad enough, the authors have crowned themselves the "ChristopherColumbus of Hawaii" claiming to have discovered "Hidden Gems" And it is quite possible that, due to their discovery, people have died. That is what has happened to many in Hawaii. Now a hundred people a day are traipsing thru your backyard leaving trash, making noise and acting irresponsably. Then one day everyone who visits your town reads about an amazing pond in your backyard that has access next to your property. Picture if you will, you own a lovely yard. We are remembering a time when the joy of discovery for those who took an active part in exploring. No Sylvia, those of us who are offended by the books are not trying to keep our favorite places secret. The authors have taken the middle man, the local out, and put many amzing places in jeopardy.

For it is in the discovering thru interacting with the local population that those hidden gems are found, shared and rejoiced. Not all travel destinations should be shared. Hey just the fact that people call these books bibles is disturbing.and that coming from a heathen like me! If life works out, and I have a vacation next summer in Hanalei, you and all fodorites are all invited to my "Burn your Blue Book/BlueBible and Bra Bonfire and Fireworks BBQ. Over the years, I have seen the fallout from Andrew and Harriett's success and it is very disturbing to me personally.
