Hawaii is a tropical paradise in the middle of the Pacific ocean, but one that comes with all mod cons and every luxury of American living. And frankly, you'd still go to Kaunaoa beach, one of the jewels of the Pacific, if the sun switched on and off like a light bulb. Happily, it doesn't. Instead, it recedes over the Pacific horizon in a blaze of red and orange, its dying embers reflected in the eyes of the awestruck onlookers in one of the most sultry and romantic places on Earth.
