Welcome to Hawaii 3 There's only one place in the world where the warmth of the sun is eclipsed only by the warmth of the Aloha spirit. Where photos do no justice to the beauty that erupts through your senses and literally leaves you awestruck, breathless, and squeezes your heart just tightly enough for you to feel fully awake and truly alive. The cool breezes that carry the soft sound of ukuleles down shaded avenues and cliffside roads. The waves that tickle your toes on soft white, red or stunning black beaches, in much the same way schools of brilliantly hued fish nibble at them in the surreal world beneath the water. The mighty bellows of smoke that send signals to the skies as gray grounds glow with rivulets of slowly bubbling red lava. The tangible slowing of time as hula dancers sway softly with the trees and shedding of cares as surfers of all ages crinkle their eyes with a smile and remind you to "hang loose." All of these are the lasting impressions you'll take home after your visit the Hawaiian Islands. An American paradise, the youngest of our 50 states incorporates the very best of domestic travel—from comfort, familiarity, language, currency and ease—with the laid back way of life and stunning natural beauty only the tropics can provide. Will it be the wild jungles of Kauai that steals your heart, or the refined elegance of Maui? Will Waikiki Beach in the bustling capital, Honolulu, be the reason you'll return to Oahu, or the legendary waves of its North Shore? Maybe the hot coffee and hotter volcanoes of the Big Island sing your siren song … or will the peace and solitude of Lanai claim you for its own? No matter which island you choose, there's no doubt the impression it will leave will be forever lasting.
