Hawaii Molokai - Known as the "The Most Hawaiian Isle," Molokai is a place where nature has carved rugged beauty and where residents and visitors enjoy a slow-paced, true Hawaiian ambiance. The ancients believed that this island possessed spirituality unique in all the Hawaiian Islands, and it remains a special place to this day. The west end of this long, narrow, mountainous island is dry with wide plains. Molokai's east end is a tropical rain forest, while the rough-hewn north shore features deep ravines in rich hues of green created by over 240 inches of rainfall per year. Florence - Florence is the capital of the region of Tuscany, and is situated on the northwest coast of Italy. A major player in the cultural and political growth of Europe, Florence is still beautiful, still culturally inspiring, offering an amazing heritage seen through attractions and museums, as well the many cafes and restaurants throughout the city. The best time to visit Florence is in the low season, from April to June and in September/October, when the weather is usually good, prices are lower and there are fewer tourists. Hawaii Maui - Known to many as the "Valley Isle", the island of Maui is steeped in history and beauty. Once known as "Great Maui", six different volcanoes formed the island. The island consisted of Maui, Molokai, Lanai and Kahoolawe, which was all once a single landmass. But rising sea levels have changed the landscape dramatically, and have since separated the islands. All are still a province of Maui, but are now considered Maui County. The highest point on the Island is the Haleakala volcano in Haleakala National Park, home to the Haleakala Crater; the largest dormant volcano in the world.
