Travel Tales: Hawaii Paradox & Paradise is all about travel to Hawaii. Sometimes Hawaii is the paradise you hope and expect it to be. But sometimes Hawaii is much more the paradox and less the paradise. And it is surprisingly so that Hawaii is sometimes home to the unusual, the paranormal, as well as even UFOs.This book collects the interesting situations travelers and residents sometimes get themselves into. This book includes the true tales of the sorts of things that you might expect to occur in a tropical paradise but also perhaps occurrences of the totally unusual and unexpected.Perhaps you are a visitor for the first time coming to Hawaii. Of course, you’ll experience the wonder of the beautiful beaches, the weather, and the incredible surroundings and scenery. But you may not expect the unexpected or the unusual and just might be surprised at what can only be termed 'a paradox,' i.e., things you just might not expect would occur in paradise.You might try delicious foods or drinks you’d never dreamt of consuming back home. And you just may try some new things that are beyond the pale even.Some tales involve interacting with the locals. Some are about Hawaii visitors themselves.In our True Travel Tales series and Hawaii Paradox & Paradise, in particular, we encourage you to travel safely and securely and abide by all the rules. We expect that you will read about aspects of Hawaii that you have had no idea about. You’ll see that Hawaii is a very complex blend of the incredible paradise that most visitors have in their imaginations Hawaii to be before they arrive. But you’ll also see that Hawaii, like most anywhere else, is also a fascinating blend of some very unusual kinds of experiences that people would not normally expect.It is no wonder, then, this book will portray to you very important aspects of ancient Hawaiian history and culture that you would not normally expect to see or hear. So be surprised and yet expect the unexpected that makes up Hawaii to be both the paradise that you have learned to love and expect as well as the paradox full of wonderment and surprise that you never expect to see.
