Hawaii
The Hawaii of Your Imagination Still Exists: And it's available right now... in Hawaii.

For most of us, Hawaii begins to weave her spell with some little glimmer1 of awareness2. A friend describes a sunset off Waikiki. We hear the twang of a steel guitar. Or we open a magazine and there it is... Golden beaches and golden people. Sun, sand, sea, and surf... And somewhere between the blue skies and the palm trees... we're hooked.


The Hawaiian Islands are one of the most beautiful places on earth. The weather is friendly. The temperature ranges from 60-90 degrees all year long. It's a little warmer in summer, and a little cooler in winter, but every day is a beach day for somebody.


The environment is friendly. The physical beauty of Hawaii is almost unparalleled. Majestic3 mountains were created millions of years ago by volcanic4 activity that thrust these islands three miles from the ocean floor. Wave action across endless eons of time created coral reefs, and then battered5 and broke them to create miles of white sand beach. Our position at the center of the Pacific ensured that almost every plant and animal who would find a home here would come as an invited guest.


There are no strangers in Paradise. Perhaps the most beautiful part of Hawaii is the genuine warmth of our people. We call it the spirit of Aloha. It has allowed a melting pot of cultures from all over the world to find common ground, and a new home, in this most gentle of places.
