I've had the great fortune to visit Hawaii on several occasions for work. I'm just finishing up my fourth trip here – and I'm a bit torn. I look forward to going home, yet I feel like I'm already at home.
I've been coast-to-coast and border-to-border … and sometimes further. When I come to Hawaii, I rarely visit the "tourist" sections. If I want to see someone from Nebraska do the Hula dance — I can go to Omaha.
Get me around those that have made their live and their pursuit here on the Isles. The spirit here is one of generosity, where happiness is the pursuit of happiness (rather than the obtaining of happiness), and where vanity is not a welcome character trait. Most residents see others from the inside out (and shouldn't we all?)
It is a transparency and authenticity that seems natural to them. It is contagious.
It is Aloha.
