Almost Paradise · 29 July 2023
Hawai’i is truly paradise. Well, almost.
If you have never been to Hawai’i, you might not agree, but it is close to paradise. It is just a little too hot and a little too humid. Or maybe a lot too humid. At least when we went. And if you happen to be lucky enough to go there during a tropical storm, a little too windy too.
Anyway.
Hawai’i is a pretty cool place. Cool in the sense of marvelous and wonderful and fantastic. Not in the sense of temperature. At least not in the middle of July. In the middle of July, it was hot. When we went, it was humid. And during the time when the tropical storm was in the vicinity, it was windy. Did I mention that it was hot? Well, it was.
Even though it was hot, I still think that Hawai’i is almost paradise. It is scenically beautiful. It has sunshine all day. (Okay. Not every day.) And the weather is consistent. (Except during tropical storms and hurricanes. And maybe the winter.) In our case, the weather was hot. But like I said, it was consistent.
The thing about being hot is that you can always cool off. Just go into the water someplace. In Hawai’i, that means just go to the beach. And if you are on vacation, that means you go to the beach every day. (It might also mean that if you live there, but I suppose that there are people who do not go to the beach every single day.) I suppose there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
There are many things to do on the islands too. We happened to be on Oahu, so we went to see the capital and the palace and of course, the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. (We did not go into the palace, but it is interesting to note that it is the only palace that housed a monarch of that state in the United States.)
Well, I was going to go on and on and on about how beautiful Hawai’i is, but there is not much more to say on that note. You can only say so much about the beautiful ocean. And the beautiful beaches. And the beautiful mountains. And the beautiful gardens. And the beautiful people. Everything is beautiful in Hawai’i. Which is probably the biggest reason it is almost paradise.
So if you want to visit a place that is almost paradise, make sure that there is no hurricane and that it is not July, then go to visit Hawai’i. After all, Hawai’i is truly almost paradise.
