If you've got stuff you like and a container bring it along with you. If you don't like the stuff after you've brought it, sell it at a yard sale later.

People don't generally care very much about "stuff" here. Hawaii is about being outside, not inside. Visiting friends, going to the beach. Your friends won't care what your furniture looks like and if they do they aren't your friends, then are they?

Without these remarkable people the island would be nothing. With them it's a carnival. They are generous,courageous and comic. They awake each morning to a fresh day that has forgiven the previous day's outrages. In the pursuit of money they are irresponsible. In the pursuit of happiness,dedicated. They are the perpetual adolescents of the ocean, the playboys of the pacific.
