Dear Endora,
I have heard the waves can get big in Hawaii, but how big is big and what was the BIGGEST wave ever recorded?
Brian - Washington
Dear Brian,
With breaks called "JAWS," "KINGS," and "FUTURES" to name a few - the waves in Hawaii get super big and when the surf is up the crowds hit the beaches to glimpse the exteme althetes surf these monsters. In Hawaii waves are measured from their back side, in California waves are measured from their face - so a 6 foot California wave is equivalent to a 3 foot wave in Hawaii. The biggest surfable wave was about a 25 foot wave, and the largest wave on record was from a Tsunami (tidal wave) that hit Hawaii in the 1970's at 160 feet!
Whatever you do, when you visit Hawaii during the "big surf" make sure you get out there and view the intensity these waves have, and take pictures!!!

Dear Endora,
What is the significance behind what ear a flower is worn behind?
Just curious
Dear Just curious,
I have forever had the trouble of remembering when I was single what side of my head I should wear my flower on, until I was told this simple explanation. If you are married then you wear your flower behind your left ear, same side as your wedding band. And when you are single you wear it behind your right ear...
Pretty simple explanation - have fun wearing those fragrant flowers!

Dear Endora,
We have been online searching for all inclusive resorts to stay at in the Riviera Maya that would be perfect for families that is at minimum a deluxe property. Do you have any suggestions?

Dear Jill,
Darling one of my favorite "chains" of all inclusive properties are the Spanish owned Iberostar resorts. These properties do everything extremely well. Whether you stay at the Iberostar Quetzal or Tucan in Playacar which has its own jungle complete with monkeys, exotic animals and birds OR choose to stay in the Iberostar complex just north of the super charming town of Playa del Carmen, where you will find all sorts of fabulous pools, lazy rivers, dining venues plus so much more - at stay at an Iberostar property will definitely be one your family will cherish and remember for years to come.
And with all the specials that are being offered now, I think a family vacation at one of their resorts will be extremely affordable!
If you need any additional help you can view Iberostar properties online, or by all means give one of the agents at Incredible Journey a call (1-888-729-6899).
Take care,
Endora
