> > There is a legend about the sunset in tropical regions. It is said that if you watch closely as the last bit of the sun drops below the horizon, you will see a green flash. It's small, it's quick, but it's bright. Some people look, but never see it. If you are in Key West at sunset, you need to position yourself at the west end of Duval Street. On Hawaii, go to the Kona Coast.

> Howard, you rule. I've been to the Kona Coast in Hawaii about four times, have seen dozens of sunsets there, and I have never once seen the green flash. Everyone else would ooh and ahh over it while I stood there wondering what was wrong with me. But now, at long last, I can say that I have seen the green flash. My curiosity has (temporarily) been satisfied.

Keep looking. You'll see it live and in person. Another place in the "Sandwich Islands" is Lahaina
on the west side of Maui, where the sun sets between Molokai and Lanai. Spectacular, even if you don't see the flash.
