That's What I Like About You

HAWAII


1. Kona Coffee - just the memory of the smell off 100% Kona Coffee - freshly brewed - makes me smile

2. The People - mahalo for your patience and kindness to all of us tourists - I know I would never be that polite to so many haoles asking annoying questions


3. Blue Sky, Blue Water, Powder White Sand - really, no explanation needed, right?


4. Duke's Hula Pie - It's not really pie and I don't really care - it is fantastic!


5. Snorkeling the Na Pali Coast - a hot rainy day, just my husband and I and thousands of tropical fish and coral - paradise found!


6. Diamond Head - the view from the top is indescribable. The fact that I made the hike to the top makes me feel like I can do anything. If I had a bucket list, this would have been on it and it would have felt fantastic to scratch it off the list.


7. The Seven Sisters Waterfalls - natures waterslide


8. Black Sand Beaches - lava tubes, smooth black stone pebbles against colbalt blue waters.....you just can't make that beauty up.


9. Did I mention the Kona coffee?


10. Dole Plantation - fresh pineapple, lightly salted (yes, you read that correctly - just when you thought fresh pineapple couldn't get any better...) comes with everything from pancakes to steak to fish.


11. The Banyon Tree - taking up an acre of land, it is said to symbolize eternal life as it has never ending expansion. Beautiful tree, beautiful symbolism.


12. the Postal Code Is HI - how great is that?!?! The people are so flipping friendly, even their state code is welcoming.


13. Fraaaaank - Nobody gets hurt on Frank's tour


14. Disney may claim to be the happiest place on Earth but 2 weeks in Hawaii with the man I love is my happiest place on Earth.


These are a few of my favorute things...Hawaiian style.
