HAWAII'S
Big Island The Food, The Culture, and The Art
Hawaii in January is a lovely way to escape the gray, chilly weather on the mainland. It’s a long flight but so worth the trip. I haven’t been to a place that feels more alive. The lush landscape in some areas and the rough edges of the lava rock in others give the Big Island various interesting sites. This was my second visit to the island. The first time I stayed in Hilo, which is considered the rainy side of the island. It is also the more affordable side for housing. In Hilo, you will see waterfalls, many fruit trees, and tropical plants. In Kona, cacti climb high into the air among the tropical flowers as a reminder of the dryer climate. 26 SOUTHERN WOMAN
