Hawaii

Throughout my life I have had the pleasure of visiting 4 of the 8 major Hawaiian Islands. I worked on a cruise ship, that sailed the Hawaiian Islands, for 2 1/2 years. During this period I visited Hawaii, Maui, Oahu and Kaui on a weekly basis. I have also visited Kaui twice and Maui once with my family.
