PS – I’ve never been to Hawaii so everything in this post could be completely inaccurate.

PPS – I only wrote this post because a certain someone(s) insists that Hawaii is better than Central America and the Caribbean EVEN THOUGH there aren’t any monkeys in Hawaii.

PPPS – I’m sure Hawaii is a nice place. I mean no offense to Hawaiians or travelers who like to go there.

PPPPS – If you’d like to share your frequent flyer miles with me, I’d gladly accept and write a more positive review.

    As someone who’s from Hawaii, I’m probably more than a little biased. But having visited PR recently, I can definitely say that Hawaii has the prettier beaches (I.e, white sand). I’ve been all over the Caribbean and still think that the island of Kaui is the most visually stunning island in the world. You should go there!

    Nina – The food in PR is hit or miss, but you really can’t go wrong with anything that involves plantains.

    Reannon – I’m sure that Kaui is amazing and I will go there one day! I’d really like to see all of Hawaii – and the world for that matter.
