I've convinced Bob by saying, "I'm planning on going to Hawaii for our 20th, wanna join me?" After a few weeks of this he finally realized I meant it. New places make him a little nervous, but once we're there he loves it.
He hasn't quite figured out yet that I'm planning on making it at least a 2 week trip, with a couple of days in San Francisco as a stop over. I suppose he might realize it when we don't fly back in a week.
So, I'm doing the research on where to go. I figure we can hit two islands in two weeks. I have to pick Oahu for one week, I don't want to not see Pearl Harbor and I think Ko Olina is where we might stay. Waikiki looks too crowded and the only people who complain about the Marriott in Ko Olina on tripadvisor.com gripe about how out of the way it is with nothing to do but lay by the magnificant beach and the wonderful pools. I'm good with that, thank you very much.
I think I'd like to be on the Big Island the other week. Seeing all the volcanoes would be amazing. I would love to find some isolated tropical paradise tiny "hotel" like they show on Survivor when someone wins a reward challenge. I don't know if such places exist on Hawaii, but I can't imagine that don't.
And reading through the books, today I read this:
"Every 5 days, there is enough lava coming out of Kilauea volcano's eruption to place a thin venner over Washington DC - all 63 square miles"
Now it's even a BETTER idea for vacation. I vote "yes" to shipping about a month's worth there.
