//** Take a trip too... **// // Hawaii! media type="custom" key="5585935" // Having trouble finding a location for your honeymoon or your next vacation? Here's an idea for you: why don't you visit the Hawaiian Islands? If you're asking yourself “Why would I want to go to Hawaii? It would be boring to sit on a beach all day,” then maybe you should really look at what Hawaii has to offer.



Hawaii itself is a lovely island region in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The small island chain sits in the very center of the Ring of Fire, a ring-like chain of volcanoes that exist on the coastlines around the Pacific Ocean. Hawaii is no exception. Hawaii's Big Island is basically made up of the five volcanoes that are on the island. One of those volcanoes, the Kilauea Volcano, has been erupting, slowly, since January 3, 1983, and is still erupting today. When they erupt, the volcanoes on the islands actually make the islands grow in size. When the lava pours from the summit of the volcano, or wherever it manages to come out from, and hits the water, it hardens, making new land for the island. The island chain known as Hawaii is already a tropical paradise and a popular vacation location for tourists, and know you know that there are still active volcanoes erupting along some of them. So what are you waiting for?! There's a chain of islands in the Pacific with beaches and volcanoes just waiting for you out there!
