Abstract
Hawaii is one of my favorite places to visit. It has amazing snorkeling and unique opportunities for astronomy. It is a tropical paradise with no poisonous snakes, American plumbing, and it is very accessible as a popular tourist destination. Not all visitors are aware of the potential astronomy experiences available. With over eight million visitors a year, Hawaii is a very popular vacation destination.
The beauty of Hawaii probably surpasses other places. I like the Big Island and the two mountains Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, where you can look out at the stars.
