May / June 2024 Aloha Reader! We just checked one of our goals off the bucket list! My husband's dream was to visit Hawaii, and it did not disappoint. The beauty of nature and realizing that we are just a speck in this vast world was amazing. But getting here wasn't a straight path. The plan was to go for his 50th birthday, which fell in 2021.
