Zebras at mile marker eighty seven; long horned steer and now buffalo too!1
Yes, I am reall talking about Hawai'i.2
Xebecs are on display in Kona Harbor.3
Waiting for the locals and tourists to soak in their salty tales.4
Visitors are astounded at the variety they find here.5
Unless you take a week or two, you won't have time to see our beautiful island.6
The Big Island, a.k.a. Hawai'i is larger than all of the other islands combined.7
Setting at the bottom of the chain, it is the newest land on the planet.8
Regular volcanic flows form new land daily.9
Quench your thirst with Blue Hawai'is, Mai Tais and Chi-chis.10
Play barefoot in the sand.11
Open your heart to the aloha, feel it everywhere.12
Nurture your body with fresh island fruits.13
Make time to just sit and listen to the ocean.14
Live aloha while you're here.15
Keep outside opinions to yourself.16
Jump into the ocean at least once a day!17
Investigate the only zoo in the world, hidden in a tropical rainforest.18
Have one local food, you've never heard of, each day you're here.19
Greet everyone you meet, with a smile and "hello".20
Feel the magic in the air.21
Eat til you're tired...not full.22
Dance the hula.23
Cherish the moments you stay.24
Be at home...take your shoes off...25
Aloha oe a hui hou!!26

Wow, this reads like a travel brochure. This is even a good poem.It was very light-hearted, i was a bit tensed, so this helped!
Aloha oe a hui hou-What does this mean?
This could even be sung as a song. This was really lyrical, I liked it

Hawai'i. Yay. This is a great travel promotion. It's a place I've always wanted to visit, but haven't yet. I had an aunt who lived there for 12 years, but I never got to visit.
Thanks for the lovely advice for a trip to Hawai'i and for entering my contest.
By the way, I love the foreign phrase at the end. What does it mean, except for "Aloha," of course; I know that means.
Write On!
