Episode 2: Hawaii - The Big Island
When I say Hawaii, what do you think? Do you think about Waikiki Beach or Pearl Harbor or Honolulu? Most people do.
But in this episode, we’re going to talk about Hawaii, also known as the Big Island.
The State of Hawaii is an archipelago, which basically means that there are a lot of islands that make up Hawaii. In fact, there are 132 islands that make up Hawaii, though only 7 are inhabited. Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau and Hawaii - the Big Island.
Waikiki Beach, Pearl Harbor and Honolulu are all on Oahu, which is a beautiful island, but a very busy island.
If you’re like us and like things to be a little calmer, the Big Island is perfect for you and your family!
