My husband would just love your blog. He has been wanting to go to Hawaii forever. Our 10th anniversary is this year and we need to go somewhere.
Thanks for your comment, Ginene. Hawaii is definitely a wonder place to celebrate an anniversary. FYI – I have a giveaway contest this month that will reward one subscriber (by email or RSS), so maybe you or your husband would be interested in it: https://govisithawaii.com/2007/07/23/subscribe-to-go-visit-hawaii-to-win-a-hawaiian-prize-pack/
