Life on the Big Island of Hawaii
Graham's Island 
Rio would be worth it, Graham. Or Sydney. London, maybe not. Depends who you’re going to see. Good 7! Happy weekend!

I’m not much of a traveler these days. Hawi is a more comfortable distance for me! Have a good weekend yourself.

A great sign to show how far you are from the rest of the world. The distance to Vegas is about the distance the other side of Australia is from my place

Vegas is called the ninth island in Hawaii, because it’s so popular with Hawaiians.

oooh and nine?! I didn’t realise there were 8 islands – I think I would have stopped at 5 if I had been asked

Actually, the 8 islands are the main ones in Hawaii. The actual total of islands in Hawaii is 137, which includes numerous little atolls in the mostly uninhabited Northwest chain!

I wouldn’t worry about it. I bet there are people who live here who don’t realize the Northwest chain islands are part of Hawaii!

I was surprised Rio was that far away.

Me too! Deceiving maps, I think. The Peters map is much more accurate and when I look at that I can see it.

There are pros and cons to most map projections, particularly on the global scale.
