"Hawaii has the highest standard of living of any Pacific island.
Isn't that a little like saying "it's the nicest slum"?
Rob post,
"Perhaps you have not traveled much."

Just got back from Maui.....oh the beach parks! oh the roads!!!! so lovely!!! no , not close to slum at all. Why can't we have those roads and beach parks on the Big Island???
The airport in Kahului, lovely! I land in Hilo, no soap, broken faucets, out of order signs....why?
On the other hand, Hawaii's cost of living compared to Society Islands...well I'd have to say I like their cost of living & life style much better!
Many Society Island Polynesians have had the good sense to hold onto their land.... healthcare is covered by Gov., College is covered by Gov. True, Groceries are very high... but...
there is a sense of easiness & freedom on the Society Islands we visited last year that I would say has been lost here in Hawaii.
