Why
do we have these islands on a web site about Hawaii? Well, once they've traveled
the 2500 miles or so into the Pacific Ocean for their Hawaii vacation, many
people use Hawaii as a springboard for travel to Indonesia, French Polynesia and
the South Pacific Islands of
Fiji, Bali, Bora Bora, and Tahiti.
This photograph of a Humpback Whale was taken off the coast of Tahiti by
Mike Eilers and retouched by his friend
Carl Bringas.
