In the New Jersey area, we have just emerged from a hurricane and are now looking at a snow storm.  As huge flakes of snow stick to the grass and I sit here feeling really cold, all I want to do is get away to one of our favorite places, Oahu.  There is something absolutely magical about this island in Hawaii.  Each time we go there, we feel a massive surge of excitement and walk around with humongous smiles plastered on our faces and contentment in our hearts.  Take a look at these pictures and you’ll know why all I want to do is go back.
