Big Island Has the most Aloha

[Devany]

Freestate,

Yes, you did get to experience a very different part of the USA and lucky you to come with a career opportunity. Jobs and the cost of living are why a lot of people do not stay here. I do appreciate your point of view. I'd guess that living in Kansas as a minority would make you stick out, whereas here, we come in a thousand hues and with so many backgrounds that almost everyone fits in the demographics. Even the Royalty in Hawaii married into European families... there is a little bit of everybody here.

I agree the other transplants are extremely friendly and welcoming, as we are in the same state of mind for the most part. I think that is one of the greatest things about Punaweb, it sort of knits us together with a common love of place, even though we are all here for various reasons, in different times of our lives and we are sprinkled about East Hawaii and the mainland.

We live on Paukaa Drive on the cliff. It would be fun to meet you and yours sometime. Not many Punawebbers live up here. Send me an e-mail and maybe we can figure out something once I am well again.



Aloha au i Hawai`i,
devany
