Closing Arguments
1. Maui was definitely the nicer of the two islands with lots more stuff to do and lots more stuff to watch. Kauai has a very laid back lifestyle and with its population of less than 60000 is not crowded at all. It gets the most rains but luckily it rained only for a few minutes when we were on Kauai.
2. Kauai room was the highlight. It was an ocean-front suite (we upgraded since priceline gave us a not so well equipped hotel to offset the disappointment.)
We could see the ocean, hear the ocean, the breeze touched us and we could touch the ocean if we walked about 30-40 steps and maybe smell the air a bit too... something is missing right? What about the fifth sense?
I came across this amazing product at the Indian store, definitely the best thing since sliced naan. Masala Tea Pouches. Just boil some water and empty the contents of the pouch and stir. It has tea, sugar, masala and milk powder in it. A perfect railway station tea is ready. A book, that tea and a pool chair in front of the ocean. Paradise!
3. Our return flight was from Maui and we had to leave Kauai in the morning on the last day. Our flight from Kauai to Maui was via Honolulu(Oahu) and we found out that our flight from Maui to Chicago had a brief stopover at the Big Island. (We later realized that it was just to increase the sales of the airport gift shops). Anyway, that day we touched four major islands. We thought it was pretty cool.
4. I had spent quite some time recording some CDs for our trip and it was worth every minute. So if you don't have an iPod and car-attachment/FM transmitter, do spend some time with this.
That is it about Hawaii. As our flight attendant told us after we landed at Chicago
"Welcome back to Reality."
Taking good pictures of fireworks is one of the tougher challenges in photography for me. This is one of my better attempts.
