Aloooha! Danny Kaleikini, the Ambassador of Aloha (former Gov. John Waihee gave him the moniker in 1988), was born into a family of eight children. Raised in Papakolea, his humble roots taught him how to share the aloha. Everyone in their household contributed by doing their share. In fact, a 5-year-old Danny sold copies of The Honolulu Advertiser and also shined shoes by Hawaii Theatre to help his family. &nbsp;The Kahala Hotel &amp; Resort honored "Hawaii’s Ambassador of Aloha" Danny Kaleikini by celebrating his 30-year residency at the resort and dedicating its front drive in his name. We sampled his favorite dishes from Plumeria Beach House. &nbsp;&nbsp;
