Hawaii the Meaning of a Vacation

The Hawaiian Islands are one of the most beautiful places on earth.

The weather is friendly.

The temperature ranges from 60-90 degrees all year long.

It's a little warmer in summer, and a little cooler in winter, but every day is a beach day for somebody.

The physical beauty of Hawaii is almost unparalleled.

Majestic mountains were created millions of years ago by volcanic activity that thrust these islands three miles from the ocean floor.

Wave action across endless eons of time created coral reefs, and then battered and broke them to create miles of white sand beach.

Perhaps the most beautiful part of Hawaii is the genuine warmth of our people.

It has allowed a melting pot of cultures from all over the world to find common ground, and a new home, in this most gentle of places.

Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii.

For most visitors to Hawaii it will be the first place they go to and it will give them their first impressions of the islands.

There are many hotels located all throughout Waikiki Beach, overlooking it's beautiful scenery.

The places you will surely want to go to when you are here include Chinatown, Waikiki Beach, and Manoa Valley.

Dominating the island is the enormous volcano Haleakala ('House of the Sun'), one of the best places in the world for sky-gazing.
