There is an international convention, I have a copy of it in front of me since I use it in my work, that distinguishes the Pacific islands of Oceania from the more substantial masses of New Zealand, Australia and their offshore islands. They are quite different. We have also meet in Hawaii a few times. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania Hawaii is part of Oceania. <tp>
