Hawaii in our future
We were hoping to make another trip to several islands over winter. We won’t go until the quarantine mandates are lifted. Why go to Hawaii and sit in a hotel room for two weeks. Sad for Hawaii that really relies on the tourism industry. But having the guides at least allows dreaming.
Eh.. there are better ones out there.
Eh... It isn’t the best book written about a very popular travel destination. I found that other travel books were much more detailed and thoughtfully written. This one was certainly minimal at best. For example, details of snorkeling was under stated and honestly it was lazy at best. There was a fair amount of fluff to it and that is probably why it is a larger book than it needed to be.

OK but mostly review of what I already know
