In January, my wife came home with Brady Bunch-like news: She was going to Hawaii for work and, while her employer wasn't as generous as Mike Brady's boss Mr. Phillips, who paid for the whole clan and Alice to go to Honolulu to watch Mike's building be constructed, I'd at least have free accommodations. I figured the 45 days we'd be there would give me ample time to relive the Brady Bunch's 1972 groundbreaking trip. But Don Ho and Vincent Price are dead, the Hawaii episodes still give me night terrors, and no one on Oahu cares that it was the setting for television's most important three-part episode (narrowly besting the
Welcome Back, Kotter where Julie delivers twins). But after
a few mai tais to quell my terrors, I set to work researching this guide to the Hawaiian Brady Bunch experience.
