Welcome aboard. I absolutely loved visiting Hawaii but couldn't imagine living there. Islands kind of creep me out and everything was just crazy expensive.

Thank you I'm sorry to hear that wish I knew you then I probably would have toured you around. And yes a lot of locals here has different perspectives on what Aloha means to them. But speaking for myself I would treat other respectfully and politely in Hope's of the same in return. And expensive you say? That's not even close to describing cost of living. Its I guess what I say being born and raised here in Hawaii and knowing the real aloha culture here. It's kinda hard to explain but again that's just my perspective.

Don't have to worry about paying or fighting or finding for any parking. But get this, the best part is we get the Thompson water seal when we get foreigners come over on their ships. We trade them for our flower leis, coconut, lau lau and poi

No, don't get me wrong, the people there seemed nice enough and really chill, just the thought of being on an island that could either blow up from a volcano or get washed away by a tsunami without notice is kind of spooky.

What do you guys pay for a sheet of 3/4MDF there? Batteries? I reckon the heavy stuff we use has to be pretty inflated.
