• When you get into Honoka`a, go through Honokaa town until you come to a four-way stop. At the 4 way stop go straight and go almost 9 miles towards Waipio Valley/ Kukuihaele. At the 8 mile marker there will be a sign on the right that says Kukuihaele. Turn right and take the little road through Kukuihaele, past Neptune's Garden/Last Chance Store/Post Office on the right, past the County Park (open field) on the right. We are the 5th house after the park. It is an old yellow plantation house with a brand new green roof, a mock orange hedge fronting the property, a yellow picket gate tucked in the middle of the hedge with the name Florencio Alegre (my grandfather). Please park on the grass in front of the hedge. The address is 48-5380 Kukuihaele Road. The word HOSTEL is on the mailbox. If you arrive after dark, look for the blue reflector in the middle of the road signifying the fire hydrant in front of the house. There is a flashlight in the newspaper box for you to use.
• The hostel entrance can be found by going through the gate, down the sidewalk to the left of the house to the bottom entrance.
