Moloka'i gets relatively few visitors, especially by comparison to the four Hawaiian Islands that are larger and more populous (Hawai'i, Maui, O'ahu, and Kaua'i). There are quite a few reasons why this is so, and they all start with the word "no" – no chain motels with flashing 'vacancy' signs, no lush resort with parking attendants poised at the porte-cochere, no spas, no commercial lu'au, no movie theaters, no white-linen gourmet restaurants, no Lamborghinis for rent. That sounds pretty negative until you start thinking about what else is not there – no traffic signals, no traffic, no city lights, no noise, no crowds, no tension, no hype, no mistrust, and no chance that you'll ever get lost.
