Getting Around Hawaii

The Hawaii that people normally visit consists of 6 islands: Oahu, Maui, Kauai, the Big Island, Molokai, and Lanai. Traveling between these islands usually consists of air or boat travel. Here are your options:

Welcome to Hawaii Logue

Aloha to everyone. I’m Lisa, and this is my very first post. Instead of ushing and gushing about how happy I am to be here talking with you, I think I’ll just share last night’s sunset sky with you. I took my two dogs for a walk and was fascinated by the sky just before dusk (about 6:15). See, I live on the Eastern side of the Big Island so I don’t see a sunset over here. Although the sky is almost always pretty, last night it was … phenomenal.

The ocean itself was kind of a dark steel-gray and mostly wave-free. It stretched gently out to the horizon and where it met the sky there was a slightly darker band of gray. The sky itself started out a light shade of pastel blue, like a color you might paint a baby’s room. The farther up the sky went, the darker blue it got. It turned indigo, and then started lightening again to a beautiful violet, and then light pink color. The pink color faded into normal blue sky above. In places, there were bold streaks of indigo shooting up at 40 degree angles. All of this color was dotted with faded cumulous clouds that were quite overpowered, but still pretty in their own right. It was amazing. I walked almost a mile without taking my eyes off the horizon (and probably with my mouth open).
