It's with a heavy heart that our beloved Suzie Beckmann has gone to swim with the dolphins. Natalie Acosta [July 11, 2024]

  Moved to the West Coast of Oahu in August of 2001. Living a lifelong dream of the first thing I hear and see in the morning is the surf and the last thing I see and hear at night is the surf, no shoes and no alarm clock. I have truly found "Paradise". After working for 35 years, have the time to follow a passion. Love recording visually all the beauty that surrounds me. Create prints, greeting & note cards using the photos I've taken and worked with using PhotoShop. Also provide transpotation to and from the airport and give mini-tours to supplement income. Showing people were "Lost" is filmed has become a very popular spot.

  Live with my poi dog "Mara" and life is good. She plays frizbee and loves to swim. She loves the ocean/beach as much as I do and is a great companion.

  Came in 2nd place in the Cannon 2004 Honlulu Photo Contest. Theme was "Pets in Hawaii". There was a reception and local TV and radio covered the event. Mara (my dog), who is now the prize winning model, had her photo exhibited at the Cannon Photo Gallery for a month along with the other winners. Guess Mara & I have had our 15 minutes of fame!

  Fulfilling a life long dream of living on the beach in Hawaii. Moved in August 01 to paradise. Bought a condo on the beach and taking the first time-out I've had since I was 15 years old.
Hope everyone has a blast in Vegas. Would like to be there, but don't think I'll make this one.
   Aloha,
