Thanks HM!
I have good family friend who is Hawaiian royalty....well grandma was, dad offered throne, But didnt want to move back and leave kids/grandkids here. He is not, i guess. Anyway, he often tells stories of Hawaii. I would luv to see.....and I believe in educating myself on local beliefs/customs before going! He always says to talk to him before planning!
The customs he talks about are fascinating....your people have rich and beautiful traditions! I wonder if it's wrong of me to want to go there and yet be sad what turism has done to your beautiful islands.....
