Lana’i…..What a beautiful secluded paradise. Those Norfolk Pines in Lanai City are so awesome. One of my best buddies moved there in early 90s to take a job at the newly created hotels. I headed for the North Shore in late 90s. Once and a while I would take a week and go hang out over there. I spent more time there than all my trips to the other islands.
