Hawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Aloʻha, Mahaʻlo, Poi ʻO ʻO, ʻAh ʻAh, some of the famous Hawaiian Language words which sticks to your memory after visiting HAWAII.

Well everyone knows Hawaii is famous for beaches. Apart from that there is lot more interesting story to share about its History and Geography.

2600 Miles & 6 hours Journey from Seattle, Washington. Hawaii lags 3 hours from PST.
Hawaiian Island consists of group of 8 main Islands (Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe & Hawaiʻi).

Islands are formed by mother nature in the form of Volcanic eruptions over millions of years.

Kilauea, Hawaii is one among the most active volcano in the world. This Volcano is erupting lava continuously (non-stop) for past 21 years. It has already created additional 600 acres of land in Hawaii. One more forth coming Volcano (LoHʻiHʻi) which is currently under sea level will soon become a land in future. (Probably 1000 - Million years from now). Seeing Volcanic eruptions and Lava Flow from just few miles in front of you is really amazing and exciting.Some of the Space Robot(s) which are sent to Mars & Moon were tested in these volcanoes before launch.

3 days are not sufficient. Any one planning for Hawaii, plan at least for 6 days trip.Hawaii Trip was bit expensive, with the same money I could have made a round trip to India :)-

Parasailing above Pacific Ocean and walk on Active Volcano is breathtaking experience. Due to budget constraint Sky Diving was dropped from my plan. Well for those who don't know Skydiving, Here you go! Basically you will be tied to another professional skydiver (who has parachute) and will be dropped out from Air Craft over the ocean or land. It’s a free fall from an elevated height, you might feel you are dead but you are not :)-

I can suggest following activities for people visiting Hawaii. (Most of them are adventure activities) Well I haven’t done all, but due to time and money I could able to do only few.

1. Mt Kilauea, Walk on Active Volcano.
2. Parasailing.
3. Skydiving.
4. Scuba Diving.
5. Shark Encounters, Dolphin Encounters.

6. Kayaking.
7. Jet Skiing.
8. Surfing, Wind Surfing.
9. Hiking, Biking.
10. Glider Rides, Helicopter Rides etc.

Apart from this there is lot more on Romantic getaways :)- and lot more on magic’s of nature , one can get more info from www.hawaii.com

For Single(s) - If you are an enthusiastic person with more synergy to explore and energy to spend more, Then Hawaii is a perfect destination waiting for you. Alternatively you can also have a relaxing trip. I am longing for a relaxing trip which I made to Goa, India during 2002.

For Couples - When it comes to Romantic destinations, Hawaii held on to its No. 1 spot on the list of World's 10 best honeymoon destinations for the ninth year in a row, according to Modern Bride's annual survey of 6,000 travel agents.
