Traveling to Hawaii is easier than you might imagine, and almost certainly more rewarding than you have imagined. Besides being one of the most beautiful places on Earth, it's also one of the friendliest. So if you ever have a question while you're visiting, don't hesitate to ask! Hawaii's people are helpful by nature. The following contains some useful tips and information you might find helpful. Because Hawaii is located at the edge of the tropical zone we really have only two seasons. In "summer," our average daytime high temperature is 85º F; in "winter," it's about 78º F. Ocean temperatures are always warm; trade winds keep the islands cool and the humidity comfortable. If you favor a dry and sunny destination, check out the leeward side of each island. (That's the region sheltered from the prevailing winds - generally the west and south.) If you want lush, tropical and wet, venture to an island's windward side (the regions facing the prevailing winds - generally the east and north). Of course, even on the windward side the showers usually last just long enough to create our legendary rainbows. A word of caution about the sunshine: Bring your hats, sunglasses and sunscreen - which you should re-apply liberally throughout the day.
