Chapter 1: Regions and Themes

The state that I have chosen for the web assignment to write a blog is Hawaii. I've never been to Hawaii before but I would like to take full advantage of this opportunity to learn something that will hopefully be useful for my first visit to Hawaii.

Hawaii is one of the greatest regions in the United States that offers a variety of unique experiences for visitors. One reason that makes it special is its region.

Hawaii is the only state in the United States that is located apart from the North American continent (surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, southwest of the continental United States). While Hawaii is consisted of a chain of 132 islands, it is usually considered eight islands: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolwe, Maui, and Hawaii. The whole group of islands is rising due to volcanic activity.
