I think this is the most beautiful place on earth and in my opinion, this is my
idea of heaven. I wish I could live there, but the cost of living in Hawaii is
very high. I will continue to visit as many times as possible, because I truly
love Kapalua Beach.
Hawaii is like no other place on earth. Home to one of the world's most active volcanoes and the
world's tallest sea mountain. Birthplace of modern surfing, the hula and Hawaii Regional
Cuisine. Former seat of a royal kingdom and home to the only royal palace on US soil. Hawaii is
one of the youngest geological formations in the world and the youngest state of the union. But
perhaps Hawaii's most unique feature is its aloha spirit: the warmth of Hawaii's people that
wonderfully complements the Islands' perfect temperatures.
There are six major islands to visit in Hawaii: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii
Island. You'll find each island has its own distinct personality and offers its own adventures,
activities and sights. Mark Twain called Hawaii, "That peaceful land, that beautiful land... the
climate, one long delicious summer day, and the good that die experience no change, for they
but fall asleep in one heaven and wake up in another.
En castellano:
Hawai es como ningn otro lugar en la tierra. El hogar de uno de los volcanes ms activos del
mundo y la montaa ms alta del mundo del mar. Lugar de nacimiento de la moderna
navegacin, el hula y Cocina Regional Hawaii. Antigua sede de un reino real, alberga el nico
palacio real en territorio de EE.UU. Hawai es uno de los ms jvenes formaciones geolgicas
del mundo y el ms joven del estado de la unin. Pero la caracterstica ms singular de Hawai
es su espritu aloha: la calidez de la gente que complementa maravillosamente temperaturas
perfectas de las islas.

pacfica, esa hermosa tierra ... el clima, un da de verano delicioso, y al morir no experimentas
ningn cambio, porque quedas dormido en un cielo y despiertas en otro"
