  1. “21. No high-rises are found on Kauai. no By law, no building can be taller than a coconut tree. That is in sharp contrast to Honolulu…”

    While none of the 27 reasons had anything to do with me visiting Hawaii repeatedly since 1965 and some 20 or more years in a row, #21 got me.

    I live in SoCal and was born an raised in NYC, so I’m used to skyscrapers. Those in Hawaii are like so many the world over – they remind me of the ingenuity and powerful engineering man is capable of. See Part 2.

  3. After 13 trips to the Hawaiian Islands only #2 and 5 I didn’t already know. After an off year due to Covid, illy be back in for trip #14 in 2022 to my favorite place on earth!

  4. I’ve always loved Hawaii , wish I could retire there someday !

  5. When I lived there it was waking up knowing I am living where everyone wants to be. It’s not about money or what you own. One of the few places left where character is more important than the smoke and mirror image one tries to show. My worse day in Hawaii was better than my better days on the mainland. Now I visit when I can it’s gotten more commercial however and is losing that aloha feeling. Maybe it’s just because I’m used to the old 80s thru 2010 version

  6. Aloha,
    Living in Hawaii my friends on the Mainland ask what are local people like and I describe them as electric cars. Locals can travel and live in different parts of the world but they always need to return to the Islands and plug in. They soak up the air, the water, the dirt, the food, the music, the flowers, the hula, the mana and of course their ohana.
    Then they get fully charged, unplug and return to their other lives.

  7. Your islands are considered sacred to me and my family. Your culture of aloha should be the model for the world.

  8. Very nicely put together. My wife and I LOVE Hawaii. we been coming to paradise for over 30 years. Sad that our trip for next month looks more like a dream than a reality.

    1. Hi Claude.

      Thank you. We’ll look forward to welcoming you back on another visit!

      Aloha.

  9. I love Hawaii and have made plans to relocate back to the big island may 19th if all goes right. I moved to the big island on my 50 the b-day but was injured in a accident and had to return to the mainland. Right after retiring from oahu. I love the people who are by far the most giving and loving people on the earth. Thank you for letting me leave this message. I be only pray that I get to dream of being on the island tonight. It’s been seven long years since I was there last but dream of the old airport and south point often. Thank you
