When Mark Twain traveled to Hawaii in 1866, he dubbed it “the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean.” It wasn’t just the beauty, however, that led to this conclusion, but the smells, sounds, touch and tastes of the remote Pacific islands. Today, the way Hawaii engulfs your senses continues to make it so enchanting. It’s the smell of plumeria in the morning breeze or the feeling of trade winds in your hair. It’s the sound of waterfalls splashing on rocks in a valley festooned in green, or the taste of poke at an oceanfront luau. It’s the sense of excitement during a Haleakala sunrise, the feeling of loss at Pearl Harbor and the rush of adrenaline when surfing Waikiki or watching the lava flows of Kilauea volcano.
