ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
We spent 3 months in Hawaii and thought we would write a “best of” article to provide a shortcut for those of you planning a trip to Hawaii. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, each island has something a little different to offer.
Oahu was our final island to visit on our 3-month Hawaiian adventure. Instead of just telling you about the places on the island to visit, we thought we would start off by giving you our take on how Oahu feels to us.
After two weeks in Kona driving all over the huge Big Island, we got to the very laid-back environment of the north shore of Kauai. A bit of a shock to the system. In fact, the resort in Princeville had only opened five days before we arrived. No trouble finding a pool chair here.
There is so much more to do than see volcanoes on the Big Island of Hawai’i. In order to do most, if not all of the recommended activities, we wound up spending hours and hours in the car and in the water.
When we first talked about spending a few months in Hawai’i, the place I really wanted to visit was the Big Island of Hawai’i, because I had never been here. As with Maui, we got loads of suggestions for things to do in Hawai’i, but the most unique and biggest excursion was to Volcanoes National Park.
