Though the state of Hawaii is always a popular vacation spot with its blue skies, Mai Tais, and swaying palms and luau dancers, less is known about the cultural and geographic differences that make up the chain of eight islands. But Hawaii is not merely a beach vacation; the 50th state has a rich cultural history that can be found in the cuisine, lifestyle, and traditions on the islands.
