In my opinion, reading 1 (Hawaii: The Land of Many) is more informative and useful for a person who knows nothing about the sugar plantations in Hawaii in the 1800s.

As a child, around the age of five, I became friends with the children of a family that had just moved to our neighborhood from Hawaii. The parents would occasionally make statements in a language that the children could not speak. I realize now that they were making these statements in Hawaiian, although they did not speak the language fluently, and their children did not speak the language at all.

American tourism to Hawaii has increased by 14.2 percent in just two years.

The ideal vacation for me is somewhere nice and warm. A vacation where you are suppose to be able to unwind and relax. Being around somewhere that isn't school related or teachers. For me, a way to relax is not to be around loud things, like little kids and preferably somewhere peaceful.

Hawaii is basically my mom's dream come true, if she could, she would never leave the beach. Luckily for my Mom, my dad shares the same opinion. Which is why my parents have been there three times.

In sixth grade, my parents finally decided that I finally could get in on the fun.
