Facts: Hawaii has 8 main Islands Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe and the big island Hawai'i . They were formed by underwater volcanic eruptions. They are the only state that grows coffee. More than 1/3 of the world's pineapples are grown here. The Hawaiian alphabet only has 12 letters AEIOU HKLMNPW. There are no ethnic or racial majorities. Kilauea is the world's most active volcano. Hawaii is 2.390 miles from California and 3,850 miles from Japan. They are their own time zone.
Famous people born here: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (singer), Bette Midler,
Liliuokalani (last Hawaiian monarch), Ellison Onizuka (astronaut)
My photos are of poor quality because they were taken back before I had a good camera.. and before digital.
I have been to Hawaii twice and visited 3 islands
Maui - Best snorkeling spots of the islands (in my opinion). Second largest Hawaiian Island. Haleakala Crater (Ha-lay-ah-ja-lah), is the world's largest dormant volcano and a GORGEOUS sunrise spot.
Places to visit: Haleakala Crater but you MUST see the sunrise but bring a jacket it is COLD. The road to Hana and the seven sacred pools, the beaches and water.
The Banyan trees are neat to walk under with the roots hanging down over you.
Luau
Hana Seven sacred pools
One of my all time favorite photos I've taken.
Me with a bunch of Lei's I went to a friends wedding and they insisted I should get all the leis!

Kaua'i - the 4th largest island and the oldest. Known as the Garden Isle. Places to see:
