Reason #15

Rainbows... Yeah they got those here.  In fact I don't think rainbows can be avoided in any shape or form here.  There is something so magical about the intricate colors that appear in a dark rainy sky or puffy white cloud, that does nothing but bring a smile to any person's face.  In fact I have to credit a rainbow with helping me decide to move out here to Hawaii, so I guess I am forever grateful.  Here is the rainbow that changed my life about 8 months ago....

I was coming from the Big Island back to Oahu to finish out my stay with my grandparents and it just happened that this wonderful spectrum was the gateway to my new dreams and in this moment as our plane rode under the colors I knew that this was the greatest sign I could ask for.  It took my breath away and I have never looked back since.  

Since rainbows are basically a daily occurrence here, it gets to be a fun game of "who can spot the rainbow first"  I guess it would be the equivalent of slug bug island style.  But seriously Hawaiians take their rainbows seriously.  I mean, when the license plate has a big one across it, driver's licenses have them, even the University Athletic teams are called the Rainbows, I think it is safe to say, yes, Hawaii has rainbows, and boy are they something beyond magical.
