Aloha to the Roaming Gnome!

All of Hawaii is abuzz by the news of our islands being selected as Travelocity’s Roaming Gnome's next adventure! We enjoyed the friendly competition between our state and Cancun and Jamaica, and it was exciting to see how Hawaii people united to bring the Roaming Gnome here!

Now that he’s on his way, we’d like to suggest these fun things he should experience on each island:

• Oahu – Drive around the island and get some cool shave ice on the North Shore!
• Kauai – Hang at Hanalei Bay Beach, recently voted 2009's #1 beach by "Dr. Beach!"
• Maui – Watch the sun rise at Haleakala and visit the farms of Upcountry Maui! 
• Hawaii's Big Island – Volcanoes – a must do!

Of course, Roaming Gnome should definitely try to surf, do the hula and get an oceanfront massage on every island! We’ll be following him on Twitter at @RoamingGnome and on Facebook. And he can follow us on Twitter at @MarriottHawaii or on Facebook too!

Aloha, Roaming Gnome! We hope you enjoy Hawaii as much as we do!
