The air. As soon as I step off the plane in Lihue, it hits all my senses. Sweet, soft, fragrant and full of life. I just go out after getting my baggage and breathe for 5 minutes. It totally makes me calm, peaceful and relaxed. Those rainbows are always a big highlight also. Never get enough of the green scenery either. Happy Holidays to you both. You guys are great with giving us updates, opinions and Aloha. Mahalo nui loa.
Hi Debra.
Thanks for all your input and nice words. We appreciate it.
Aloha.
For some of us there is a stronger reason why we return to Hawaii. It is our birthplace. The strength of Hawaii is in our blood. My love of land and ocean came from four generations being born, raised and living in Hawaii. Because of the rising cost of housing and better job opportunities, I moved to the mainland. Now, affordability in Hawaii is even worse and everywhere is too crowded. But I still return occasionally to see my favorite beaches and mountains. Mahalo BOH for good travel news.
The #1 rated Hawaiian health system may be about to face the ultimate test. Daily Covid cases have increased from under 100 ten days ago to almost 1000 today. If the current growth rate continues the number of infections in ten more days could be 10,000 per day. Consider the limited number of available ICU beds in Hawaii before making travel plans at this critical time.
Regarding #4, nothing will ever top the original Hawaii Five-0. That show did more for Hawaii tourism than all others combined, and unlike Magnum, P.I., the powers behind Hawaii Five-0 (Leonard Freeman and Jack Lord) insisted on using locals almost exclusively for small on-camera roles and behind-the-scenes jobs. This is one reason why they are beloved to this day (also, Jack and Marie Lord donated more than 40 million dollars to many causes dear to the hearts of the Hawaiian people).
Wonderful list about beloved HAwaii!!! Thank you for a few I didn’t know. 🙂
Maui no ka oi! My favorite place on the islands though there are such spectacularly beautiful places on all the main islands.
My understanding is that amazing Haleakala is dormant though, not extinct. 😊
I love staying in Hana where it is still raw & isolated. And I adore great hula kahiko with oli. Adore hearing fabulous Hawaiian slack key masters live.
But one mammoth love I have is whale watching!
Will do
I can attest to the great health care after breaking my leg on a hike on Kauai last May. Wilcox Medical Center was wonderful. I had surgery the next day and received excellent care. Not where I was planning to spend 4 days of my vacation yet it was an overall positive experience. I definitely need a do over.
The people. My hānai ohana. Great to be back on Kauaʻi for the Holidays.
I love the way that Lanai is mentioned to have been the Pineapple Island. No one mentions the Prison Island any more.
Part 1
…I live in SoCal and was born and 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.
Part 2.
The failing of most skyscrapers is not enough ground space. They need more room for parking and some green space.
