Wouldn't you have thought that Hawaii would have been the FIRST U.S. State to legalize pot?

Well, they weren't, and its not, but you CAN get high in the Islands -- about 5,000 feet to be exact.

We did it in an open cockpit, throwback Biplane. It was like barnstorming volcanoes and waterfalls on a cherry red Harley.

We met our pilot, Kevin, at Tropical Biplanes at Lihue airport on the Garden Isle of Kaua'i. He gave us a quick safety briefing, then we climbed in and soared over paradise.

What a great way to start -- or finish -- a tropical vacation. Kevin has piloted everything from wedding proposals to geriatric thrill rides. Not a bad day job, eh?
