Thank you Adele, best wishes on the Big Isle.  Some of us remember when Hawaii was Hawaiian. The Aloha spirit seems to be headed for the endangered species list as is the native Hawaiian.  It is what truly was unique about Hawaii, born of the native Hawaiian culture. Beautiful beaches and climate can be found elsewhwere. What made Hawaii unique (and is used as a marketing tool to this day) is that loving and giving spirit of Aloha. For the native Hawaiian there is not much left to give that hasn't been stolen or taken from them. Honolulu and Waikiki isn't Hawaiian, it's Caucasian/Asian.
