This weekend Sam's on the Big Island of Hawaii, exploring the cultural and spiritual pastimes of the real Hawaii. She explores rivers of molten lava, blesses a newly built outrigger canoe and feasts her senses at the only authentic luau on a black-sand beach. Sam is going Hawaiian in a way she never has before.
