Is Hawaii the main Island in Hawaiian Island chain?

No, it is not the main island. The main island is O'ahu, probably because Honolulu is not only the capital of Hawaii, but it's on O'ah. But Hawaii and Maui are considered Maine islands as well. The flight to the state to Hawaii, if you live in a continent and not in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (besides Japan), it may be a very long flight and Hawaii is very expensive. The shortest flight available to the state of Hawaii if you do not live in the Pacific Ocean may be 5 in a half hours! But it can be eight hours, eleven hours, and so on.... It is about 2,500 miles away from California. Hawaii is also located near the equator, a very hot line. And it lies in the middle of the North Pacific. Hawaii is a beautiful place to visit and it is nice to take a vacation there, but not when there are Tsunamis and hurricanes. Thus, Hawaii is a nice place but can be dangerous!
