Why Hawaii?
Is there really any question?
Honolulu is consistently ranked as the U.S. city with the best climate, lowest crime rate, and for its beauty and cleanliness
Hawaii is great for pre/post (but not during) AAMAS07 activities: Hawaii is among the top three destinations of choice for leisure travel in the U.S., and is the number one choice in Japan.

After AAMAS07
THE ALOHA SPIRIT
The people of Hawai`i are as warm and welcoming as the weather
(which, in May, averages 29C/84F for highs and 21C/70F lows with lots of sun)!
Kama`aina (local residents) call this outpouring of hospitality the Aloha Spirit.
