Aloha from the big island.
October 26, 2013 at 2:07 am
Saw the most amazing place, called the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden yesterday. I wouldn't want to live here but it sure is one hell of a place to visit. Here are some photos of paradise.

Got too much sun swimming today. But I saw a sea turtle and had a bunch of smallish white fish leap out of the water and overhead. Guess that is worth a bit of pink.

You're going to have to explain the 'not wanting to live there' bit.

Well, it is just too humid and warm for my liking. Of course I love what all that humidity and warmth can do for a garden. But I do like my creature comforts and so much humidity isn't for me.

Beautiful on camera, but I bet in person it was breathtaking. Thank you for sharing. Smile

Oh WOW!

What I'd give to live in a tropical paradise but as you say with all the creature comforts of a first world economy.

I love Hawaii. Beautiful islands. Beautiful scenery.

And a friend who lives on one of the smaller ones has a plantation where he grows fucktons of white widow...

I was stationed at Hawaii for 5 years. You do not want live there, because it is too remote, too expensive, too crowded, locals hate you, and too freaking expensive.

Beautiful wears off quickly, when you have to work there everyday.

Great to visit, but not so much in living there.
