| Honolulu
is the permanent home to almost a million people of all races and
cultural backgrounds. It is not only one of the largest cities in the
U.S., hovering around the 10th or 11th spot on the census charts, but
also one of the most popular destinations in the country for business
and leisure. At any given time, there are about 100,000 visitors to
Hawaii and nearly all of them travel through Honolulu. |

| Maui
was created approximately five million years ago by an undersea eruption
that formed two volcanic mountains, Mauna Kahalawai and Haleakala. Mauna
Kahalawai, now an extinct volcano, became the rugged West Maui Mountains.
Majestic 10,023-foot Haleakala, meaning "house of the sun," last
erupted in 1790 and is now considered dormant. Centuries of lava flows and
erosion created an isthmus between the two mountains. This vale composed
of rich volcanic soil gave Maui the nickname "Valley Isle." |

| Hawaii (Big
Island) is still growing. There
were once five active volcanoes contributing to the island's growth: Mauna
Kea, Kohala, Hualalai, Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Hualalai last erupted in
1801, while Kilauea and Mauna Loa are still considered active. While much
of the Big Island's culture was lost through the course of the past 200
years, recent times have seen a resurgence of interest in Hawaiiana. The
dance, song and legend of ancient Hawaii have not yet been lost. |

| Kauai
is the perfect location for a Hollywood film shoot particularly if the
story is set in the jungle. Kauai's Hollywood history goes back as far as
the 1930s, but it entered the international spotlight due to the 1976
production of King Kong. In just the past 10 years, the world has
seen Kauai's scenery in movies like Hook (1991), Jurassic Park
(1993), George of the Jungle (1997), Six Days, Seven Nights
(1998) and Mighty Joe Young (1998). |

| Molokai
is a small island with a very small population (under 7,000 currently) and
very little industrial activity. Outdoor enthusiasts and adventurous
travelers love Molokai, for the land in most places is wild and untouched
by commercialization. Its people are still nearly 40 percent Hawaiian,
earning Molok'i the title "Most Hawaiian Island." It is renowned
as a unique, authentic place that has remained unaffected by the passage
of time, and is regarded as a spiritual center and a place of retreat. |
