 Of all islands of Hawai'i, eight high islands are considered the "main islands" and are located at the southeastern end of the archipelago. These islands are, in order from the northwest to southeast, Ni'ihau, Kaua'i, O'ahu, Moloka'i, Lāna'i, Kaho'olawe, Maui and the Island of Hawai'i. The climate of Hawai'i is atypical for a tropical area. Temperatures and humidity tend to be less extreme, with summer high temperatures seldom reaching above the upper 80s (°F) and winter temperatures (at low elevation) seldom dipping below the mid-60s.(Information provided by Wikipedia .)
If you are looking at visiting, Hawaii certainly offers the best to its visitors.

HAWAII CLEAN ENERGY INITIATIVE |
GOVERNOR'S MOLOKA`I COMMUNITY ADVISORY COUNCIL TO DISCUSS HAWAI`I CLEAN ENERGY INITIATIVE
For Immediate Release: April 3, 2009
HONOLULU – The Governor’s Moloka‘i Community Advisory Council will meet on Tuesday, April 14, 2009, 3 p.m. at the Kulana O‘iwi, DHHL / OHA Conference Room, 600 Maunaloa Highway, Kaunakakai. The public is invited.
Joshua Strickler, facilitator of renewable energy projects, from the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, will discuss the Lingle-Aiona Administration’s work to achieve energy independence through the Hawai‘i Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI). Strickler will address the recent agreement between Castle & Cooke, First Wind Hawai‘i, and Hawaiian Electric that could lead to large wind farms on Moloka‘i and Lāna‘i which will provide clean energy to O‘ahu. Noelani Kalipi, director of government and community relations for First Wind, will brief the council on the company’s wind farm proposal for Moloka‘i.
The agreement is part of the HCEI, a partnership between the State of Hawai‘i and the U.S. Department of Energy that seeks to move Hawai‘i toward having 70 percent of its energy come from clean energy sources by 2030.
Governor Linda Lingle created community advisory councils to give the neighbor islands a stronger voice in state government. The Moloka‘i Community Advisory Council holds public meetings each month to seek community input and advise the Governor of important issues in Moloka‘i. The Council also recommends potential nominees for state boards and commissions.

GOVERNOR LINGLE ORDERS STATE FLAGS TO FLY AT HALF-STAFF |
GOVERNOR LINGLE ORDERS STATE FLAGS TO FLY AT HALF-STAFF IN HONOR OF FORMER COUNCIL CHAIR BARBARA MARSHALL
For Immediate Release: March 11, 2009
HONOLULU – Governor Linda Lingle has ordered Hawai‘i state flags at state and county buildings throughout Hawai‘i to fly at half-staff on Saturday, March 14, 2009, from sunrise to sunset, in honor of Honolulu City Councilwoman Barbara Marshall who lost her battle with cancer on February 22, 2009.
Marshall was first elected to the City Council in November 2002 to represent Council District 3, including Waimanalo, Kailua and most of Kāne‘ohe. She won re-election for another four-year term in the November 2008 election and took the oath of office on January 2, 2009 during a ceremony at Honolulu Hale. Marshall served as Council chair for two years before stepping down last November to focus on her cancer treatment.
Prior to entering public office, Marshall was a long-time broadcast journalist with KHON-TV 2, where she served as a reporter, executive producer and anchor.
“Councilwoman Marshall was a tireless advocate for the public,” said Governor Lingle. “Whether reporting or producing the news, or representing her Windward O‘ahu constituents, Councilwoman Marshall was passionate about having an informed citizenry and providing a voice for the people. She contributed to our state in many ways and she will be missed.”
