HuffPost's newest addition, HuffPost Hawaii[1] , was launched earlier this month. As September comes to a close, we're celebrating Hawaii as this week's Moment of Travel Zen. Of the 50th state, HuffPost Hawaii associate editor Chloe Fox says:


Hawaii is physically stunning -- that’s no surprise. But the most magical part about being here is not just the blueness of the water, the greenness of the mountains, or the ubiquity of the rainbows. Hawaii is the most remote place on earth -- it is the furthest away from any other landmass, which gives it a serene peacefulness, a feeling that nothing in the world can impinge on you or your happiness. It is the ultimate escape and the perfect place to let go of fears, stressors and whatever else is holding you back from truly enjoying and living your life.

  • Bijapur in India


    These are Sunflower fields seen on the road from Solapur to Bijapur in India. The burst of yellow is simultaneously soothing and blinding in the otherwise arid land. The photo was taken in Nov 2012 when I was on my way to Hampi by road. -Archana <a href="http://yenforblue.blogspot.in/2012/12/the-best-way-to-really-know-our-country.html" target="_blank">http://yenforblue.blogspot.in/2012/12/the-best-way-to-really-know-our-country.html</a>
