It is interesting what my line of work does to people.
I travel primarily throughout the U.S., Canada, and Caribbean on business, mostly on a weekly basis. Many of the small towns are fascinating, and usually far better than the derisive jokes made about small town America. Then again there are those places that no amount of bad press could do proper justice . . .
I was speaking to a colleague prior to this most recent trip. The topic of places we've been came up and she observed "I've only been to Kona and Maui" when talking about spots visited in Hawaii. It didn't hit me then, but after the call was ended I realize just how jaded she - and most of us in the racket - really are. How many Americans can there possibly be out there who will complain they have "only" been to Kona and Maui? No doubt far fewer than the number who have ever actually been to Kona or Maui.
(I've only been to Oahu and Kona, and don't get to go to Kauai until next month . . ..)
