"Aunty," who is actually well-known Hawaiian entertainer Sonya Mendez, leads the giggling gaggle of kids on a "Coconut Walk," marching, singing and clapping coconut shell instruments together around the outdoor patio at Aulani, Disney's newest resort and its first in Hawaii. It may be the world's first resort to incorporate a working taro loi, water slides erupting from a faux volcano, and Disney characters doing the backstroke in its pool. Not to mention steel roof designs that look like pili grass hale. This resort was built around the story of Hawaii. It's like a book about Hawaii and you are inside the story.

Lack of time is a major reason why many people forego healthy eating. Fast food is readily available and it's temptingly cheap and filling. If you must eat fast food, you can easily take steps to improve the quality of your nutrition when on the run.

1. Watch portion sizes 2. Seek out deli-style fast-food chains where you can order a sub or sandwich on whole wheat bread or a wrap 3. Many fast-food chains now offer healthy sides in place of the ubiquitous French fries. 4. Always order a side salad when eating at traditional fast-food outlets. 5. Remember that chicken isn't always a healthy choice especially when fried. Order grilled.
7. Stock your car with bottled water and healthy snacks. 8. Consider a supermarket for your fast-food break. You can pick up precut and washed fresh fruit or vegetables, yogurt, or lowfat cheese. 9. Hold the mayo. A tablespoon of regular mayonnaise has almost 100 calories! 10. Don't add a sugary, calorie-rich drink to an already unhealthy meal. Water is available everywhere and is good for you.
