This January Vince and I had the amazing experience of traveling to Maui with a blogging friend from Australia, Ms. Eternal Traveler, Carol, and a good friend of mine from work, Connie Smith. Carol is posting a series of travel articles about our trip. Her pictures and descriptions are fabulous, and offer the fresh perspective of a first time visitor. This trip was her and her husband’s first trip to the “States.” We chuckled – like Hawaii is similar to ANY PLACE else in the States! There’s NO place like home, but it’s not like Hawaii no matter how many palm trees we plant by the pool. 🙂 You’ll love this post.
Thanks for the reblog Marsha.

Hawaii is at the very top of my “Bucket List”, I’m looking forward to putting a check mark by this one.

You might want to get a “donation ticket” to support our Woodlake Museum for $10 for a chance to win a free trip. Email me at tchistorygal@gmail.com for details. 🙂

Hi Jim, Good to hear from you. It’s been a long time since we chatted. The island is still gorgeous, but I doubt that it’s changed too much since you were there, other than more traffic and more buildings. OK, it’s changed a bunch. All the sugar care companies are gone from Hawaii now. That’s VERY recent. They have Costco and fairly normal priced groceries. My friend Carol even bought some things in HI because it was so much cheaper than in Australia! I’m sure housing is more expensive now than it was in 1990. All in all, it’s not too bad if you get a good price on your airline tickets.
