Beautiful Aloha

It feels like yesterday that we boarded a flight to Hawaii and spent ten glorious days basking in the sun. We island hopped from Maui to Kauai and I was exactly two weeks pregnant. Almost one year later I found this editorial and was immediately drawn to it, partially because of the recent blizzard, but more so because the attitude in Hawaii is the absolute opposite from that in New York. These days I find myself dreaming of Hawaii. When the temperatures cruise below 40, nothing is more tempting than floating off to a warm sandy beach, fresh flower leis in your room and the most incredible fish tacos the world has to offer.  Even if it's just in my mind.
