Cara,
Just some honest thoughts about those comments......
Let's hope that we don't dwell on those kinds of thoughts too long. If that is where you are coming from and/or what you seek, you might want to see the other side of the island where money lives and breathes. In wondering what others have in monetary value, we lose what Hawaii is all about. You really need to get to know the Aloha spirit of the people, for that is where the fortunes lie. Besides when do you ever really know how much someone else's is worth and then if that is all that they are out to impress you with, well you just might miss the true meaning of friendship and what the world is all about. Stop and smell the flowers and the beauty that the day brings in Hawaii. Hawaii holds a treasure that not all can understand nor see, but it is there so subtlely, as in it's spirit and nature. All the money could not trade that feeling of the love for her and the love that she gives. I hope that the money stays away from this niche and that it finds the life here unbareably slow and intolerable so that it gets bored and finds a better fit.
I am afraid that this side of the island is trying to avoid that type of lifestyle of the rich and famous, but is more a hold out of what is that gracious life of the "old Hawaii" and what we all hold dear about it. It would be a misfortune to have it turn otherwise.
I wish you Aloha,
Lucy
Having another Great day in Paradise, Wherever that Maybe!
