We apologize for that.  ReallyHawaiian.com uses a software called WordPress. It’s a wonderful, powerful, sophisticated tool for building and managing websites.  We love it, and appreciate the folks at WordPress.org for making this available.  However, as with all things technical, glitches can happen, no they DO happen. 

We upgraded to a newer version and changed some of our functionality.  Worked great for about 3 weeks and then the database become fractured, and well it finally fell to pieces.  Thankful for backups and our very intelligent technical team, we were able to recover everything, not one little bit missing. 

During the recovery process, it was decided to take a bike ride and clear our brain cache before finishing off the final database initiation.  Riding close to the ocean, the salt air and dodging tourists on Alii Drive (Kailua-kona) is a wonderful meditation.  There’s absolutely nothing we can’t do after that. 

And so it is – the site is back up.
