Alakaʻi Kaʻahele ʻAmelika
E hoʻomaka i kahi huakaʻi epic ma waena o nā ʻāina ākea a like ʻole o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. E hoʻomākaukau e makaʻala i nā kūlanakauhale kiʻiʻoniʻoni, nā paka ʻāina kupaianaha, a e hoʻohauʻoli i ka meaʻai momona.
Ma kēia alakaʻi huakaʻi hope loa o USA, e hōʻike mākou i nā wahi kiʻekiʻe, nā manawa maikaʻi loa e kipa aku ai, pono e ʻike i nā paka ʻāina, a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no ka huakaʻi ma kahi kālā.
No laila e hoʻopaʻa i kou kāʻei noho a hoʻomākaukau no ke kūʻokoʻa o ka ʻike ʻana iā mākou e lawe iā ʻoe i kahi huakaʻi poina ʻole ma waena o ka ʻāina moeʻuhane.
Hauʻoli huakaʻi ma ʻAmelika!
Nā Kūlana Kiʻekiʻe ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa
Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi ʻano o nā wahi kiʻekiʻe ma USA, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻalele i ka kipa ʻana i nā kūlanakauhale e like me New York, Los Angeles, a me Miami. Eia naʻe, inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike i ka nani hema a me ka nani kahakai ma kahi hoʻokahi, a laila pono ʻo Charleston, South Carolina ma luna o kāu papa inoa.
He kūlanakauhale ʻo Charleston e hoʻohui pono i ka mōʻaukala me ka wā hou. Ke hele nei ʻoe ma kona mau alanui pōhaku ʻulaʻula i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā hale antebellum waihoʻoluʻu, e manaʻo ʻoe me he mea lā ua hoʻi ʻoe i ka wā. ʻIke ʻia ka mōʻaukala waiwai o ke kūlanakauhale ma nā wahi a pau āu e nānā ai - mai ka huakaʻi ʻo Battery kaulana kahi i pale ai nā pūkuniahi i ke kūlanakauhale a hiki i nā mahi kanu mōʻaukala e hāʻawi i kahi ʻike i ke ola i ka wā mahiko.
Akā ʻaʻole pili wale ʻo Charleston i kona wā i hala; ke kaena nei i ka nani kahakai. Me kona mau kahakai maʻemaʻe a me nā hiʻohiʻona nani o ke awa, hāʻawi ke kūlanakauhale i nā manawa pau ʻole no ka hoʻomaha a me nā hana waho. ʻO ʻoe ka lābathAia ma ka mokupuni ʻo Sullivan a i ʻole ka ʻimi ʻana i nā mānoanoa o Shem Creek ma o ka kayak, e hoʻohauʻoli ʻia kou manaʻo i ka nani kahakai o Charleston.
Ma waho aʻe o kāna hoʻokipa hema a me ka nani maoli, hāʻawi pū ʻo Charleston i kahi hiʻohiʻona meaʻai. Mai ka ʻai kuʻuna Lowcountry e hōʻike ana i ka iʻa hou a me nā kīʻaha Gullah-inspired i nā hale ʻaina mahiʻai hou a i ka papaʻaina, ʻike ʻia ka poʻe aloha meaʻai iā lākou iho no ka koho.
ʻO ka manawa maikaʻi loa e kipa aku ai iā ʻAmelika
No ka ʻike maikaʻi loa, e hoʻolālā i kāu kipa ʻana i ʻAmelika i ka manawa maikaʻi loa. Hāʻawi ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kahi ākea ākea o ka wā e hoʻokō ai i kēlā me kēia hoihoi a me nā makemake. Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei e leʻaleʻa i nā kahakai lā o Kaleponi, e ʻimi i nā lau hāʻule i New England, a i ʻole e pā i nā pali ski ma Colorado, aia kekahi mea no kēlā me kēia.
I ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ka wā e kipa aku ai, pono e noʻonoʻo i ke ʻano o ka wā ma nā wahi like ʻole o ka ʻāina. ʻIke ʻia ʻo ʻAmelika no kona ʻano ʻano ea, me nā ʻano like ʻole mai kahakai a hiki i kahakai. Ma keʻano laulā, ʻo ka punawai (ʻApelila-Mei) a me ka hāʻule (Sepatemaba-ʻOkakopa) he mau manawa leʻaleʻa e kipa aku ai no ka mea hāʻawi lākou i nā mahana mālie a me ka liʻiliʻi o ka lehulehu.
Inā ʻoe e hoʻolālā nei i kahi huakaʻi no nā haʻuki hoʻoilo a i ʻole ʻahaʻaina hoʻomaha, a laila ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o Dekemaba a hiki i Pepeluali. Eia naʻe, e hoʻomanaʻo i kekahi mau wahi e like me Alaska a me nā moku'āina ʻākau e ʻike i nā kūlana hoʻoilo paʻakikī.
Ma kekahiʻaoʻao, kaulana ke kauwela (Iune-ʻAukake) no nā hoʻomaha kahakai a me nā hana waho. Manaʻo i ka mahana wela ma ka hapa nui o ka ʻāina i kēia kau.
ʻAʻohe manawa o ka makahiki āu e koho ai e kipa aku, e hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ke kūʻokoʻa aia ma ka puʻuwai o ka moʻomeheu ʻAmelika. Mai ka ʻimi ʻana i nā paka ʻāina a hiki i ka hele ʻana i nā ʻoliʻoli mele a i ʻole nā hanana haʻuki, he nui nā manawa kūpono e apo i kou kūʻokoʻa a hana i nā hoʻomanaʻo poina ʻole i kou noho ʻana ma USA.
ʻO kekahi mau wahi kaulana e kipa aku ai ma ke ʻano he mākaʻikaʻi ma USA
Pono e kipa i nā Pāka Lahui ma USA
I ka hoʻolālā ʻana i kāu huakaʻi, mai poina ʻoe i nā paka ʻāina pono e kipa ʻia ma USA. Hāʻawi kēia mau mea kupanaha kūlohelohe i nā ʻāina hoʻohiwahiwa a me nā manawa pau ʻole no ka huakaʻi.
Eia ʻekolu mau paka aupuni ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokuʻu:
- Pauoa National Park: ʻIke ʻia ʻo ia ka paka aupuni mua o ʻAmelika, he mea kupanaha maoli ʻo Yellowstone. Me ka ʻoi aku o 2 miliona mau ʻeka o ka wao nahele, ua kaena ʻo ia i nā ala hele wāwae e hiki ai i nā wailele kupanaha, nā hiʻohiʻona geothermal e like me Old Faithful geyser, a me nā ululāʻau ulu e piha ana i nā holoholona hihiu. E mālama pono i kou mau maka no nā bea grizzly, nā ʻīlio hae, a me nā ʻohana bison e holoholo wale ana.
- ʻO ka National Parkʻo Yosemite: Aia ma ka puʻu o nā mauna ʻo Sierra Nevada ma Kaleponi, ʻo Yosemite kahi paradaiso no ka poʻe hoihoi waho. ʻO kona mau pali pōhaku kiʻekiʻe, nā wailele kiʻekiʻe e like me Yosemite Falls, a me nā sequoia nunui kahiko e haʻalele iā ʻoe i ka weliweli. E hoʻopaʻa i kou mau kāmaʻa a e ʻimi i nā alahele ākea o ka paka e hoʻokō i nā pae akamai āpau.
- Ke Kula Kahua Nui Canyon: Huakai i loko o kekahi o na haku hana nui loa ma Grand Canyon National Park. I kālai ʻia e ka muliwai ʻo Colorado ma luna o nā miliona mau makahiki, hōʻike ʻia kēia awāwa weliweli i nā ʻāpana o nā ʻano pōhaku ikaika e holo ana a hiki i ka ʻike maka. Hike ma kona lihi a i ʻole e ʻimi hohonu i kona hohonu ma nā ala paʻakikī no kahi ʻike poina ʻole.
Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i nā hikes epic a i ʻole nā mea ʻike holoholona hihiu, loaʻa i kēia mau paka aupuni nā mea āpau. No laila e hoʻopili i kāu ʻeke a hoʻomaka i kahi huakaʻi e ʻike i ke kūʻokoʻa a me ka nani i loaʻa i loko o kēia mau ʻāina maʻemaʻe.
E ʻimi ana i ka ʻai ʻAmelika a me ka moʻomeheu meaʻai
ʻimi ana meaʻai ʻAmelika a me nā meaʻai ʻO ka moʻomeheu kahi ala ʻono e ʻike i nā ʻono like ʻole a me nā kuʻuna culinary o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Mai kai a hiki i kahakai, e ʻike ʻoe i nā ʻano kīʻaha ʻono e hōʻike ana i ka mōʻaukala waiwai o ka ʻāina a me nā mana moʻomeheu.
ʻO kekahi o nā ala maikaʻi loa e hoʻoheheʻe ai iā ʻoe iho i kēia huakaʻi gastronomic ma ka hele ʻana i nā ʻahaʻaina meaʻai e hoʻolauleʻa ai i nā mea kūikawā kūloko. He hoʻolauleʻa maoli kēia mau ʻahaʻaina meaʻai i ke aloha o ʻAmelika i ka meaʻai maikaʻi. Inā ʻoe e ʻoliʻoli ana i nā meaʻai ʻoluʻolu o ka Hema ma ka Charleston Food + Wine Festival a i ʻole ke ʻono ʻana i ka iʻa iʻa hou ma ka Maine Lobster Festival, hāʻawi kēlā me kēia ʻahaʻaina i kahi manawa kūʻokoʻa e ʻono ai i nā mea ʻono o ka ʻāina me ka leʻaleʻa i nā mele ola, nā hōʻikeʻike kuke, a me nā lewa uila.
Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia māhele o ʻAmelika kona ʻano meaʻai ponoʻī. Ma New England, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo i ka clam chowder a me ka lobster rolls, ʻoiai ʻo Tex-Mex e noho aliʻi ana ma Texas me kāna mau tacos a me nā enchiladas. E hele i Louisiana no kekahi mau mea leʻaleʻa Cajun a me Creole e like me ka gumbo a me ka jambalaya. A mai poina e pili ana i ka barbecue - mai nā iwi ʻaoʻao Memphis-style a hiki i Kansas City i ke ahi wela, aia kekahi mea no kēlā me kēia mea aloha ʻiʻo.
Nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no ka huakaʻi ma kahi kālā ma USA
ʻO ka hele ʻana ma kahi kālā ma ka USA hiki ke lilo i ala kūpono a maikaʻi hoʻi e ʻimi i nā ʻāina like ʻole o ka ʻāina a me nā hiʻohiʻona moʻomeheu. Eia nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo ʻekolu e kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻonui i kāu kālā:
- Hoʻolimalima kālā: E koho i ka noho ʻana ma nā hale hoʻokipa a i ʻole nā hōkele kālā, e hāʻawi ana i nā hale ʻoluʻolu i nā kumukūʻai kūpono. Hiki iā ʻoe ke noʻonoʻo i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā hoʻolimalima hoʻomaha a i ʻole ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pūnaewele e hoʻopili ai i ka poʻe huakaʻi me nā kamaʻāina e hoʻolimalima i kā lākou lumi hoʻomaha.
- Kaʻa Kaʻa Māmā: E ʻimi i nā koho kaʻa kaʻa kālā e like me nā kaʻa kaʻa a i ʻole nā kaʻaahi, e hāʻawi pinepine ana i nā uku hoʻemi no ka huakaʻi lōʻihi. Hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama kālā ma ke kaʻa kaʻa a i ʻole ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā lawelawe kaʻana kaʻa. Eia hou, ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi pass no nā kaʻa lehulehu ma nā kūlanakauhale nui hiki ke kōkua iā ʻoe e mālama i nā kumukūʻai pākahi.
- Hoʻolālā Meaʻai: ʻO ka ʻai ʻana i kēlā me kēia pāʻina hiki ke hoʻokahe koke i kāu ʻeke, no laila e hoʻolālā i mua a hoʻomākaukau i kekahi mau meaʻai iā ʻoe iho. E ʻimi i nā hale e hiki ai ke komo i nā keʻena kīhini kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kuke i kāu meaʻai ponoʻī me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā meaʻai kūloko mai nā mākeke mahiʻai a i ʻole nā hale kūʻai meaʻai.
Ma ka hahai ʻana i kēia mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo, hiki iā ʻoe ke leʻaleʻa i kāu huakaʻi me ka ʻole o ka haki ʻana i ka panakō. E hoʻomanaʻo, ʻo ka hele ʻana ma kahi kālā ʻaʻole ia e hoʻololi i nā ʻike; ʻo ia wale nō ke akamai i kāu mau koho a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea i loaʻa iā ʻoe.
He aha nā mea like a me nā ʻokoʻa ma waena o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me Kanada?
ʻO nā mea like ma waena o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me Kanaka e hoʻokomo i kā lākou ʻāina like, ka ʻōlelo Pelekania, a me nā ʻōnaehana aupuni democratic. Eia naʻe, ʻike ʻia nā ʻokoʻa, e like me ka ʻōnaehana olakino a me nā kānāwai hoʻomalu pū. ʻO ka ʻokoʻa a me ka ʻōlelo bilingualism o Kanada kekahi e ʻokoʻa ai mai kona hoalauna hema.
ʻO ka hoʻouluʻana
I ka hopena, i kēia manawa ua ʻimi ʻoe i kēia alakaʻi huakaʻi USA, ʻo ia ka manawa e hoʻomaka ai i kāu huakaʻi ʻAmelika.
Mai nā paka ʻāina hanohano e kali nei e ʻike ʻia a hiki i nā ʻono ʻono o ka meaʻai ʻAmelika, aia kahi mea no kēlā me kēia kanaka ma kēia ʻāina ākea a ʻokoʻa.
No laila e hoʻopaʻa i kāu ʻeke, apo i ka mea ʻike ʻole ʻia, a na nā hōkū o ka manawa kūpono e alakaʻi iā ʻoe i kahi huakaʻi i piha i nā ʻāina weliweli a me nā ʻike poina ʻole.
E mākaukau e wehe i ka puka i nā mea hiki ʻole a hana i nā hoʻomanaʻo e mau loa i ke ola.
