I’m back from my honeymoon in Hawaii and I just can’t say enough good things about that place. We spent two nights in Honolulu on the island of Oahu and the rest of the week on Kauai. Honolulu is pretty crowded and developed and not exactly my idea of fun. There’s shopping and an active nightlife, but you can do that anywhere. Only go there once if you want to see Pearl Harbor and such and then go to another island.

Kauai is positively beautiful. Not nearly so crowded and you’re surrounded by 360 degrees of natural beauty no matter where you are. There’s plenty of amazing scenery, good hiking, and plenty of stuff to do.

After you get to Hawaii, you quickly realize that you need a couple of years to fully experience everything there is to do. My wife had a good observation… there are two types of people: those who never go to Hawaii and those who go back repeatedly. In other words, you can’t go just once. We’re already talking about the next trip. Anyway, between those two groups of people, be in the latter category if at all possible. I highly recommend it.
