Tropical Islands in the middle of the great Pacific. Where the land is a happy picture of green rainforests, black lava rocks, black and red-sand beaches, not to mention the white sands. There’s even a salt-and pepper-beach. Men and women attired in colourful clothes with big floral prints or pictures of leaves and fruits. Flip Flops are definitely the most appropriate footwear in this part of the world. No wonder, in some parts we call them Hawaii Slippers. Hawaii! that is exactly where I would chose to take my family to, if I were to plan the happiest of vacations.
Moreover there is so much more for us to do in the Aloha state: go see the Pearl Harbor and Kamehameha Statue in Oahu, visit the Spouting Horn and Waimea Canyon in Kauai, drive through Hana in Maui and make sure to check out the red sand beach there.
Let me tell you there are other reasons as to why this is a really happy place. The energy on the Hawaiian Islands is unique. It’s something I haven’t felt anyplace else. Everybody is exchanging Alohas (hello/greetings) and Mahalos (Thank you). Everybody seems to be in a holiday mood, not just the holidayers but even the people who live and work there. It’s like their life is one big holiday.

Aloha… Hawaii… now who would not be happy visiting there? All the best for the contest…
So true. That's the place to go when you really need to lift up your spirits.
Mahalo for dropping by and for the wishes. All the best to you too. Desi Traveler. 🙂
Undoubtedly a lovely destination on my wish list too!Your post makes me want to be there on next holiday, Divya:)Best of luck!
You will love this place, that's for sure. The sights are great but the energy there is unique. You'll feel it when you go there. I'm already waiting to read your travel stories from the Aloha state. 🙂
Thanks a ton, Mr Bhatia. 🙂
Hawaii, another great destination i would love to visit
Regards 🙂
You must, Swati. You really must make it happen.
Hawaii sounds super exciting. From whatever I have heard, read and seen of it, Hawaii seems a mesmerising land. Am sure you would head there again.
It has a character of its own. There's so much colour and so much culture and so much to do. In many parts the greenery reminded me of the state we hail from. 🙂
I would love to visit again; there's so much more to see, and so much more to do. And I'd love to experience the Hawaiian spirit any number of times.
I strongly recommend a holiday here. You should make it happen sometime, Niranjan.
Very exotic place indeed!!
Best wishes!
It is.
Thank you Magiceye. 🙂
Hawaii always sounds so exotic!!
Clean clear beaches and great weather!
I hope you get to explore it again 🙂
Best wishes Divya 🙂
I'm definitely visiting there again. I wish you'd get to do it too. 🙂
Thank you so much dear Arti. All the best to you too. Your entry's a very sweet one. 🙂
Aha, hawaaaaaiiii. I envy you. U hav already been there.
Welcome here, Ritesh. It's a very interesting place, believe me. I'd love to go there again and again as I say in the post. The atmosphere there is really refreshing.
I read your post for the contest and I agree — Rajasthan is another place you can visit again and again. 🙂 I love Rajasthan.
All the best, Ritesh.
beautiful place… nice info and photos…
first photo resemblance a rural Kerala landscape
thanks
It is a beautiful place. Some parts of it do look Kerala because of its tropical vegetation. All those coconut trees reminded me of home. I even got to see some Cassia Fistula (konna) trees. 🙂
And some parts of the islands are just black from volcanic activity.
Thank YOU, Krishna. 🙂
Dream come true.
It actually, was, Rajesh. 🙂
Great pic of hulu dance. Good luck 🙂
Thanks Kusum. Isn't is such an attractive dance-form?!
Hawaii is a wonderful & fascinating place & Hawaiian dances are beautiful ! Hope I get to visit one day.
It really is. And those dance — you can watch them for ever, so graceful. And the music is lovely too.
You must visit. It is highly recommended.
I think the key to enjoying any place is to explore each and every nook and corner of that place. Some nice pictures here.
I guess. It also depends on what your tastes are and what makes you feel happy, that's what I think. And some places really do have a special something that lifts up your spirits. 🙂
Thank you, Haddock. 🙂
Lovely pictures!
Thank you Mridula. 🙂
You sure make it sound like a fascinating destination. Lovely pictures.
It really is, Ramakant. Didn't get to visit when you were in the US? If not, you must check it out next time.
Thanks a ton. 🙂
