Grab Your Ukelele! Hawaii is SNOW free!

Hawaii_-_kauai_nov_2009_small

Yesterday, February 12, 2010, marked the first time since 1977 that 49 out of 50 United States had snow. The only state without any trace of snow was Hawaii! Before you say, "Well, duh", consider that the Big Island's Mauna Kea Volcano stands at 13,800 feet and often has snow on it. In 1977 the only snowless state was South Carolina. And, for any of you Florida folks who may dispute having snow yesterday, even a dusting of snow counts according to the National Weather Service. Obviously, our daughter, Lauren, who moved to Kauai 2 years ago, was very, very wise!

Remember, when planning a Hawaii vacation, be sure to consult with our own Judi Chaitman. She's been selected as the Top Specialist in the world for Hawaii 9 years in a row by Conde Nast Traveler magazine. Email Judi today! Judi@greatgetaway.com
