"Mahalo" is the first new word we learned in the Hawaiian language and the one we heard most often. It means "thank you."
Mahalo, Hawaii, for the friendliest people on the face of the earth! We were called 'cousins' by many natives.
Mahalo, Hawaii, for unique, craggy mountains, always dominating any landscape, always kissed by the clouds.
Mahalo, Hawaii, for the most flowers per square inch on the planet. How could anyone be grumpy in this land?
Mahalo, Hawaii, for the continuous procession of the waves, for the excitement we've enjoyed in the midst of them in the ocean.
Mahalo, Hawaii, for the intense pride you feel for your rich history - unequaled in these United States. Who but you can boast of Kings and Queens as previous rulers?
Mahalo, Hawaii, for making us know we want to return in this blessed land!
