Hawaii. Palm trees line her coast and the water is oh so blue.. Turquoise that is.. This
vacation wonderland is one of the most spectacular places in the world. Located within the United States,
Hawaii is less than 6 hours from the west coast and 12 hours from the east coast by flight. Made up of several
islands formed by volcanic activity going back millions of years, the Hawaiian Islands
are now a world-renowned destination. The Hawaiian Islands lie slightly south of the tropic
of Cancer and there are as many different climate zones on the islands
as exist along the entire coast stretching from Alaska to Costa Rica.
