Why is Hawaii almost always the first choice for honeymooners? Why is it so romantic?
• Hawaii is virtually stress free, and as any hard-working young couple can tell you, stress is a romance killer. On this tropical island paradise, the plumbing works, the electric stays on, the language is English, the food is safe, you can drink the water, and you haven't left the U.S. of A.
• The pace of life is slower than at many destinations. You can relax and take time to breathe.
• Confrontation is frowned upon; people hardly ever raise their voices. Even in downtown Honolulu, you rarely hear a horn beep.
• You never have to wear a tie or pantyhose.
• Hawaiians have a tradition of welcoming strangers with love. Singing songs about love, dancing a sensual hula, exchanging gifts of sweetly smelling flowers, and greeting each other with hugs are parts of daily life in Hawaii. The atmosphere is contagious.
• Even the breeze feels velvety and sensual.
• Hawaii is the perfect backdrop for romance. In the daytime, swim under a waterfall, commune with dolphins or find a secluded beach. In the evening, toast each other to the soft sounds of a Hawaiian love song while you wait for the moon to rise over Diamond Head perfect moments to remember.
