And if you haven't seen The Descendants yet, it's so worth it.Tahleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330160603781228707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-21271946539652543322012-10-18T09:37:11.524-04:002012-10-18T09:37:11.524-04:00Yes, we did! 5 days on the Big Island, 6 on Kaua&#...Yes, we did! 5 days on the Big Island, 6 on Kaua'i, and we spent one day on Oahu.

I never really thought about it until I read your post. They are the 3 places I desperately want to visit someday in life! Great post about Hawaii too! I'm very curious about the Descendants!Angehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04086282092316399160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-22201142200105295922012-10-17T21:01:30.635-04:002012-10-17T21:01:30.635-04:00LOVE your pictures!

Books like the The Map of Time by Felix Palma and Dracula really do it for me. But I do have to say, when movies nail the setting and vibe, there really is nothing better than visually seeing in on the big screen.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825578716168335522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-18728056642159543252012-10-17T11:06:35.862-04:002012-10-17T11:06:35.862-04:00I didn't honeymoon there, but my husband and I...I didn't honeymoon there, but my husband and I took a trip to Hawai'i in 2008 and it was pretty amazing. I loved reading Alan Brennert's wonderful novel, Moloka'i, while I was there to get a sense of history and place. Looks like you did Kaua'i and the Big Island? We spent our time at the latter and it was so fascinating.
