Aloha!

Stunning beaches, exciting activities, and striking sceneries are just a few reasons why people choose a vacation in the tropical island paradise of Hawaii. It’s a state in the Western United States of the Pacific Ocean, about 2,000 miles from the U.S. mainland. Hawaii is the only state that is outside North America, composed entirely of islands and located in the tropics. Known as Hawaii Island or Big Island, to avoid confusion with the archipelago or the state, the island remains a major agricultural exporter to the United States on account of its unique tropical climate and fertile soil—credit to Mother Nature.

On the other hand, the state is also famous for its traditions and cultural values, which are shown in their dances and greetings with the tourists arriving in the airport, anticipating a great experience ahead in their beautiful island home. Perhaps the experience was too much for this gramma as she seemed flabbergasted by the fine-looking young man, hardly wearing anything but a bunch of flowers, which, by the way, are called “lei” or flower necklace, a symbol of love, friendship, celebration, or greeting.
