We just got back from a vacation to Maui, Hawaii. It was a 5 hour flight from San Francisco. We had a great time there especially since Hawaii felt a lot like Kerala, our home state in India. There were a lot of similarities – warm weather, rain, the landscape, vegetation etc – they grow pineapples, coconut, banana, etc. Also Taro (Chembu as known in Kerala) is a staple food here. They have a saying that if someone said they liked taro, he has to be either a Hawaiian or a liar.
