Kaua’i, the oldest of the Hawaiian islands, is as close to paradise as you could imagine. Yes, it’s expensive, the weather is a little hit or miss and, of course, it’s pretty far away from everything, but it’s also an island you’ll never want to leave.

Aloha: Exploring Hawaii from land and air
I recently spent 10 days in Hawaii, exploring the island of O’ahu with some friends. It really is a photographer’s dream, with a variety of terrain, landscapes and places to hike.
