Something you might not remember…

Majesty is an English word derived ultimately from the Latin maiestas, meaning greatness, and used as a style by many monarchs, usually kings or emperors.

Waimea is a common name in Hawaii and New Zealand. In Hawaiian, it means reddish water, but in Maori it has no meaning.

A gorge or canyon (cañon, old spelling occasionally still used) is a deep ravine between pairs of escarpments or cliffs and is the most often carved landscape by the erosive activity of a river over geologic timescales.

Kauaʻi or Kauai (/kə.ˈwaɪ.iː/; Hawaiian: [kɐwˈwɐʔi]) is geologically the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands.
