the Big Island...

is a fantastic place to go for a holiday! I just came back from Hawaii, were I spent a week sunbathing, kayaking, snorkeling and hiking. I had a great time and I find the islands very attractive. They have a fantastic climate, dryer than in Singapore and a few degrees cooler too.

The Big Island has an impressive landscape, and due to the volcanic nature of the place one can go from being 2000 feet up in the coffee growing areas to being at sea level in a few miles. It seems like a fantastic place to live, although to get to some of the beautiful little corners of the island one should have a car with a lot of clearance (or go veeery slowly...).

Absolutely beautiful.
