...hopes of reviving business. Indeed, as early as November, the Hawai'i Visitors and Convention Bureau unveiled a micro site at www.gohawaii.com/Obama, that tracks the President-elect's Hawaii, including everything from his Honolulu birthplace to the exclusive Punahou School where he studied to the place where he ate shave ice, a local palate pleaser, during his previous vacation in August...
