Form an 'H' handshape with your dominant hand by extending your index and middle fingers and keeping them pressed together, while tucking your thumb, ring, and pinky fingers. Bring your hand up to the side of your face near your temple, with your palm facing inward. Trace a full, smooth circle around your face, moving across your forehead, down around your chin, and back up to where you started.
Sign 'I', 'want', and 'visit', then use your dominant 'H' handshape to trace a circle around your face to sign 'Hawaii'.
Start by signing 'Hawaii' with the circular motion around your face, followed by the signs for 'beautiful' and 'beach'.
Begin with 'My', sign 'family', then 'live', and finish by framing your face with the 'H' handshape for 'Hawaii'.

No, your hand doesn't need to drag across your skin. It should hover just slightly away from your face as you trace the circle, keeping the movement smooth and comfortable.
Typically, you start near your dominant side's temple, move across your forehead to the non-dominant side, down around your chin, and back up to the starting point.
It is best practice to use your dominant hand for one-handed signs like Hawaii. If you are right-handed, use your right hand to trace the circle around your face.
