I've always wanted to go there, but it's really expensive to travel from South America.
Has anybody been there? Any island in particular?

Thanks!

I haven't my friend b<t I have always heard that Waikiki beach is really spectacular.. one of the best beaches in the World

I almost went there once when I was in the US but
I got my priorities straight and decided against it

Hope you get the chance and take advantage of it

I think the opening scene of Snakes on a Plane was filmed in Hawaii. Maybe the end too, where they are both surfing (Waikiki?) Just by that, it looked beautiful. And if you aren't familiar with the movie, I would recommend renting it. I believe it won a lot of Oscars when it came out, probably all of them.

Now that you mentioned Hawaii as location for movies, it's also the home of our dear Losties!
There is actually a LOST TV tour around Waikiki that costs about $100 and takes you to a lot of the famous spots on the island. Interesting, huh?

LOST tours? Ok, thats it. Im going to have to go to Hawaii now. Bye everyone.

The Big Island is famous for its volcanoes. Kīlauea, the most active, has been erupting almost continuously for more than two decades. At the coast where the lava meets the ocean, one can sometimes see billows of white steam rising from off the shoreline. At night, the lava lights up the steam to give an orange glow.
