Hawaii AN EXCERPT FROM TRAVELSENSE’S HAWAII PROFILE — A special tongue is needed to describe the islands of Hawaii, for words can’t adequately describe the palm trees on the coast of Oahu backlit by the setting sun, let alone the endless black sand beaches of Kalapana, the rainforests across the Big Island or the cascading waterfalls that dance over Molokai’s volcanic rocks. Yet the Hawaiian language contains no word for romance. While some say Eskimos have more than 20 words for snow, Hawaiians should have more than 100 words for romance considering the islands’ idyllic surroundings, luxurious hotels, celebrated restaurants and relaxing spas. Hawaii stands alone as the tropical beacon of romance, dedicated to the secrets and songs that stir the heart.
