The Alluring Aloha

I don't know if I'm the only one who feels like this, but it seems that the past 18 months has seen an inordinate number of my friends and relatives visit Hawaii--including myself!  This photo is back from last April, at Aulani, but even before we went, I had counted at least a couple dozen people I knew who had visited Hawaii after the COVID restrictions let up, allowing air travel to resume again.  Since then, I can probably count a dozen people I know who've visited the Aloha State since.  This shouldn't really be strange.  After all, Hawaii is one of the top destinations for Americans and tourists around the world.  But I still feel like I've never seen so many friends visit the same place in a relatively short period of time.

Anyway, with views like the one below, though, and even more majesty and grandeur outside of Disney territory, it's no surprise why Hawaii has attracted so many visitors!

Paradise as only Disney can craft it!
