My husband and I are in the early planning stages for a big milestone wedding anniversary. We initially decided on a cruise to Hawaii. Now he is waffling. He thinks Hawaii will be too “touristy”. Well, it probably is, but I’m there for the beautiful scenery. Anyway, he responds best to visual simulation, so is there a movie (drama or comedy) that is filmed in Hawaii that casts it in a very beautiful light. I need to make my husband want to go to Hawaii again. Thank you in advance.
I highly suggest coming to Kauai. I worked as a bartender at the airport in Lihue, and a good 95% of the people told me “This is what I thought Hawaii would be like.” It has law that states quite literally that ‘no building is to be higher off the ground than a coconut tree,’ or about 3 stories, and it’s true, you will never see a building higher off the ground here. There are a ton of movies that were filmed on Kauai, Jurassic Park, 6 Days 7 Nights, South Pacific, Donovan’s Reef is a great example, it was filmed entirely here. Here are a couple more pics to help your husband see the untouched beauty of Kauai:http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelanda…http://www.flickr.com/photos/65068167@N0…http://www.flickr.com/photos/sparkyleigh…http://www.flickr.com/photos/sk8rsherman…http://www.flickr.com/photos/wisdoc/2297…
I couldn’t post them all, but type the following key words into yahoo search and show him what comes up: Kauai, Kapaa, Lihue, Hanalei, and Wailua. The first will show you mostly the beauty of the island, and the rest will show you what to expect day to day driving around. I hope this helped, Happy Anniversery!
