Hawaii Is A Happy State

Hawaii Is HappyIn a recent survey Hawaii ranked as the 2nd most happiest state in the United States.

#1 was Louisiana. I am going to New Orleans in April so I guess that will be a happy week.

Rounding out the Top 5 were Florida, Tennessee and Arizona.

All of the top 5 provided an excellent quality of life. And at least 4 of the 5 would be considered sunshine states. Other factors would include air quality, schools, crime rates, and climate.

Are you happy where you live.

An Hawaii honeymoon is one of the most popular reasons people come to Hawaii.

Can you think of anywhere more beautiful to visit?

I can’t!

I subscribe to Google Alerts for updates on Hawaii and this one came in my email this morning. It is a nice story about a couple of were married in Hawaii. The post title “Honeymoon Couple On Cloud Nine Over Hawaii” is in a very good blog called “Go Visit Hawaii”. It is written by Sheila Beal and the videos and pictures are done by her husband Andy.

Nice job and nice blog guys!

The post has a great picture of Josh & Jenn Gampel at the Top of Maui’s Mt. Haleakala at Sunrise. I rode the “Summit To The Sea” several years ago and can attest this is a great place to take a picture! :-)

Who is the best surfer ever?

That is a question that gets asked in other sports all of the time.

Who is the best baseball player ever? Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron.

Who is the greatest quarterback of all time? John Elway or Joe Montana!

The best big wave surfer of all time is Laird Hamilton! You can read more about big wave surfers at a really cool website called Clubofthe Waves where they profile some of the all time great big wave surfers.

Check out this video of Laird Hamilton taking on Teahupoo….

I love watching things other people can do that I could never do.
