Greeting in Kauai (5)

I believe the answer is:

aloha

(Other definitions for aloha that I've seen before include "Welcome to Honolulu!" , "Hawaiian hello or goodbye" , "A Hawaiian welcome" , "Hello or goodbye in Hawaii" , "A halo seen in Polynesian greeting" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
