Great post JorElaMac!!!
I especially like this part: "Get to know your neighbors, be a good person, embrace the aloha spirit and give back. Don't just take if you live here, try to make even a small difference everyday. Not trying to be preachy but that is the other thing I hear from friends. People move here and try to change Hawaii to be more like where they came from. Hopefully you moved here because you love how different it is, why try to change things?"
Glad to hear things are going well for you. We've been on the BI for six years and still love it.
