No Snow In Hawaii
Some people like to live where you have all 4 seasons. This time of year that means snow and in some cases alot of it.
Yesterday Hawaii was the only state in the U.S. that did not have snow according to the Honolulu Star Bulletin. http://www.starbulletin.com/news/breaking/84249447.html
Mauna Loa and Kilauea are the world’s 2 largest volcanos and they do get snow, but not yesterday. If you do not like snow Hawaii is the place to go. 
On the Big Island of Hawaii, Mauna Kea (13,796′ / 4205m) and Mauna Loa (13,660′ / 4163m) get at least some snow every year, usually between October and March, although snow can fall any time from August to May.
On the island of Maui, Haleakala (10,023′ / 3055m) occasionally gets a little bit of snow.
Of these three, only Mauna Kea has a road to the top (accessible to four-wheel-drive vehicles). When there’s a big snowfall, residents of the Big Island drive to the top in pickup trucks, where they ski, snowboard, and build snowmen, then fill the beds of the pickup trucks with snow and drive back down to sea level to continue their snow play in the heat.
I live in Highlands Ranch which is just south of Denver. We get our share of snow which is pretty, but I would take 75-85 degrees year round over nights where it gets down below 10 degrees anyday.

It is hurricane season and you do not often think about Hawaii Hurricanes, but it does happen.
KITV took a look back on this short YouTube Video.
1992 was a bad year for hurricanes including Hurricane Ikini which caused billions of dollars in damage (mostly to Kauai) and was the most powerful hurricane in Hawaiin Island history.
Gregg and Nico describe their Hurricane Flossie experience from August 2007 in this video….

Most people take a pair of sunglasses for granted. They have been serving a purpose for many generations, both as a functional item and more so now, a fashion accessory.Sunglasses can range from $5 to many thousands and it is predicted that the average person will own 50 pairs in their life. But why is it vital that you own a pair and why should you take them with you wherever you travel
Driving. A lot of people choose to hire a car when they are abroad, especially on Caribbean holidays.On top of this lots of people drive to holiday locations if they are within a reasonable distance. A common cause of accident when abroad is people over heating and also being distracted by sun in their eyes. Wearing some sunglasses often protects a large area of the face from the suns rays which means not as much heat can get to it. They will also stop the sun from getting in the drivers eyes and can prevent glare or sun reflections.
Sun Blindness. If you do not wear sun glasses for your whole holiday you run the risk of getting slightly more permanent blindness. If the eyes come into contact with the suns rays for any great length of time, their are 2 main health risks that can occur. The small muscles that surround the eye can become strained or pulled and the retina can suffer from extreme exposure damage. either of these can cause blindness but more frequently they cause vision to become blurred discoloured
Cancer. Your skin is not the only thing the sun can harm, your eyes are vulnerable as well. U.V rays can cause mutations in the sensitive cells of the eyes and these can develop into larger cancers. Eye cancer is a very difficult form to treat so often leads to the sufferer having surround tissue removed and sometimes even the whole eye.To give yourself the best chance of avoiding cancer, purchase decent sunglasses that give one hundred percent U.V guard and don’t forget to wear them
