I've been going to the Big Island for 20+ years now! It has some of my favorite snorkeling spots but you were on the beach side of the island, not the coral snorkel side of the island.
My husband and I went to Oahu for our 10 year anniversary last year. It was absolutely gorgeous and we are hoping to visit Kauai next year. I dream about the poke bowls we had there. Can't wait to go back!
My dream is to hit every island. We are headed (back!) to Maui this fall for our 10th anny, and I am hoping we can do Maui and one other island this time, but we’ll see. Thank you for your recs—invaluable while we are in the planning stages. I didn’t buy turtle earrings last time, but I do still wear the plumeria earrings I bought 10 years ago 🤷♀️
Just returned from Kauai and the Big Island (near Hilo). I’m lucky to have family there so we get to experience all sorts of adventures. Already booking a trip back for July (Kona this time). We can’t stay away.
Check out Lilikoi and Lotus-she’s a family friend and makes gorgeous jewelry.
Hawaii is awesome!! I totally agree about leaving pretension at the door- it is the one place where I feel I can be my true self (I also lived there u til I was six)

Just went to Kauai for our anniversary and it was incredible! So happy you enjoyed your trip!
That is next on my list!!
I just posted about a hike I did there, gonna do a travel guide soon. Will hit you up when I do. It’s just the best. You will love it.
I’ve been to Oahu and Kauai. Loved both so much. Glad you enjoyed your trip!!
Love the laidback vibe of the Big Island- I never feel pressure to do a ton if I don’t want to. All about the R&R ☀️
