Top 7 Reasons Why Hawaii is Romantic

I am not a romantic. My wife reminds me of this a lot. So this post is for her, although it is a day late for Valentines Day.

Go Visit Hawaii had a column about the top 7 reasons why Hawaii is romantic. We do want to visit Hawaii someday, so this is a great post. I am just going to give you my favorite of the seven reasons.

Hawaii truly exudes romance. Whether you go to Maui, Kauai, Oahu or Lanai, you’ll be sure to kindle or rekindle the flames of passion. What is it about Hawaii that attracts so many people for weddings, honeymoons, and anniversaries? Let’s explore why. Here are my top seven reasons to celebrate love in Hawaii. [Edited down to 3.]

2. The Aloha Spirit
Most people know that the word aloha means hello and goodbye, but did you know it also means love? The aloha spirit in Hawaii is a spirit of love. It’s a spirit of caring, sharing, and giving. The aloha spirit puts the needs of others first. Isn’t that what love is all about? Just think how strong our relationships and marriages can be if we learn to live with an aloha spirit! [To me, it also means a girl in a coconut bikini giving out flower leis at the airport.]

3. The Hawaiian Beaches
It is certainly no secret that Hawaii has stunningly beautiful beaches. Imagine yourself sitting and your loved one at a beach in Hawaii. Picture the lava rocks stretching out from the shore to the ocean. Admire the ocean’s shades of azure blue. Hear the waves lapping on to the shore. Feel the tropical breeze. Hear the palm fronds rustling in the breeze. Isn’t it relaxing? Doesn’t it make you forget any troubles you might have back at home? Doesn’t it reset your priorities? Doesn’t it make you refocus your attention on the relationships that matter most? Doesn’t it make you want to give your loved one a big ol’ smooch? Of course it does! [If there is that much PDA going on at the beach, I'm not sure I want to go.]

4. The Seclusion
It’s really not hard to find a beach or a hiking trail in Hawaii that you feel like you have all to yourselves. When just the two of you get to enjoy stunning scenery like a hike into Waimea Canyon, for example, or a sunset on a secluded Kapalua beach, it just makes you appreciative of what you’re seeing and sharing together. These are the experiences that create the memories that last you a lifetime. [The seclusion, yeah, that's the place for the PDA.]

Written a little too mushy for my taste, but I think you get the idea, with all it has to offer (beaches, the ocean, palm trees, volcanoes) Hawaii is romantic.

So Happy Valentines Day to my wife.
