Hello Colleen! Congratulations.
My understanding is that you should have all three blessings... one for breaking ground, one for the roof going on (called a topping off party) and one before the house is inhabited.
Our Kahuna and I began our communication through a third party and I asked right away about compensation. He made it very clear that cast was a last resort, and that it is more appropriate to honor him with traditional items like salt and tea leaf, plus gasoline for his car to come here, and food to take home. I think it is good to be straight forward and ask well in advance.
Are you on island now? If so, please join us on the 22nd. You could take a little time and ask the Kahuna all your questions.
Aloha, Pam
Just another day in P A R A D I S E !!

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
