Hawai’i is so diverse … its culture, scenery, landscapes and weather … all of which are unique. So much so that you may never want to leave. Ergo the reason that some folks visit and never leave.

When you do visit, you’ll know what I mean. I’ve been to Hawai’i four times and each time the reasons to stay are greater than the reasons to return to the mainland. Other than a mortgage and some other financial commitments – a career – a teaching career – a BGE and proximity to family (whoa, I thought it was a small list!), I’d just stay. After all, when you live on Hawai’i more of your family looks for and then finds a real reason to visit you!

Today the flower is part of the Big Island’s landscape – proving that where new earth is created – so is new life. Again – Aloha.
