Richielion, that is an interesting question, the location of Hawaii. Would it be considered one of the Pacific Rim Islands, mid-Pacific Ocean Island, or what. I know that it is the 57th state, for I travel there before it became the 50th, err, 57th, State and then again after it was granted statehood. I guess being that Hawaii is the 57th State, then Alaska would be the 56th. I am still trying to locate 51 thru 55. That might be where all the extra votes for Obama came from.
