Another good source of in­ formation is the tour desk of any airline providing service to Hawaii. The best times to book a condo vacation in the Aloha state are in the spring, sum­ mer and fall months when rates are cheapest. A winter or "high season" visit may cost as much as 20 percent more. What started as an after­ thought for returning Hawaii visitors, primarily families, has blossomed into a concept that has proved popular with just about everyone. Try a condominium resort on your next trip to Hawaii, for a truly unique vacation experience. If willows don't weep, then what's in a name? S U N - D R E N C H E D H A W A I I A N H A V E N -- T h e WaUea-Ekahi Village is one of 40 condominium resorts in Hawaii offering visitors all the comforts of home and more. Most resorts have fnlly furnished units and amenities including swimming pools, beaches and rec­ reational facilities nearby. All the comforts of home amid Hawaiian splendor Couples and families alike are discovering the joys of staying in a condominium resort while on vacation in Hawaii. Condominiums, the hybrid of an apartment and a hotel, offer travelers all the com­ forts of home plus many extras. "You'll find everything from luxuriously appointed units to more modestly fur­ nished ones with prices to match," says George Arch­ er, tour sales director for Aloha Airlines, an inter- island carrier offering mod­ ern jet service. Condos, as they're popu­ larly called, range in size from studios to three-bed­ room apartments, all with fully equipped kitchens and washer/dryer facilities. In terms of value, condos in Hawaii can't be beat. For the pripe of a hotel room, you can rent the equivalent of a suite. Parents traveling with children especially save by renting a one or two-bed- room condo instead of sever­ al hotel rooms at a time.. For example, a moderately priced one-bedroom apart­ ment can accommodate a family of five for $70, or $14 per person per day. Maid service is also avail­ able, so vacationers can leave the cleaning to some­ one else in their Hawaii home away-from-home. Other amenities vary from resort to resort but it's not unusual to find sandy beaches, restaurants, swimming pools, jacuzzis, saunas, tennis courts and golf courses on site or nearby. Some of Hawaii's best condo' resorts can be found on the outside Neighbor Is­ lands. "More and more travelers are calling and ask­ ing about Aloha's Neighbor Island packages," says Archer. The most popular pack­ ages are the condo and car plans. Visitors like the flexi­ bility and the opportunity to see Hawaii at their own pace. "Besides, driving around the less crowded Neighbor Is­ lands is fun and easy," says Archer. A typical three-night pack­ age to the island of £ u, which has some of Hawaii's best beaches, s'arts from per person for a condo, car, cassette tape tour and a choice of one dinner out.

They go together like Mom and apple pie. To keep your memories forever fresh, some tips: Hold your camera steady and squeeze the shutter re­ lease button. Try to frame your shots with an interesting fore­ ground. It's better to have people in your pictures, even if all they're doing is pointing at the view. Don't shoot into the sun. Take enough Film with you; you could be miles away from the nearest dealer. And above all, observe the customs of the area. Good manners dictate that you should always ask permis-' sion wherever you are. If you can't tell a Fraxinus quadrangulata from a Salix babylonica. you better be careful before you put one in your front yard. Those hap­ pen to be the botanical names for the very popular blue ash and weeping willow trees-- common names that describe them best. All plants have many common names, but only one official "tag." Common names really tell a story about a tree. The blue ash, for example, got is name because the inner bark was used by the pioneers to make a blue dye. The legendary weeping willow, on the other hand, has been the symbol of grief since the exiled children of Israel wept beside the waters of Babylon and hung their harps upon the willows in the midst of their grief. According to Ortho's new book, "The World of Trees," one of America's original chewing gums came from the leaves of the sour gum tree. If you feel threatened by a neighborhood witch, you might consider the benefits of owning a wych elm. The his­ tory of this plant is traced back to the days of tree wor­ ship. A sprig of elm was used in the butter churn to prevent bewitching and the delaying of buttering and was a fa­ vored protection against witches. Also, the witch in witch- hazel does not refer to the Halloween witch, but to an old Anglo-Saxon word, "wick" or "wicken." If you think you might re­ duce your grocery bill by in­ vesting in a Kentucky coffee tree, forget it. The American pioneers, in their attempts to be self-supporting, brewed some of the fruits of this tree as a coffee substitute. They made that mistake just once. Trees, like their common names, are not always what they seem to be. That is an important point to remember when selecting the kinds of trees to plant on your prop­ erty. While most trees arc planted for their beauty, fruit or because they are personal favorites, another considera- t i o n s h o u l d b e t h e i r problem-solving capability. The Ortho editors point out that certain trees planted against the west side of your h o u s e c a n h a v e a n a i r - conditioning effect. Don't like your neighbors? T h e r e a r e t r e e s t h a t c a n screen them out quite nicely, thank you. Giant trees can be held in check by proper pruning. Other trees can be miniatur­ ized and held in pots or tubs for years, if yard space is limited. A n d t h e r e a r e t r e e s f o r problem sites: trees that will stand flooding, that will grow along the coast and that car stand up to the harshest city conditions.
