This new website is meant to be a journal of sorts. Not a daily journal but an
accounting of what it's like to live in Hawaii from the point of view
of a kamaaina, that is, someone who was not born here, but now has come to
call Hawaii home.  It will be posted gradually as I complete each section that has
to do with various occasions in our everyday life as well as important occasions in 
the life of Hawaii. It will include my personal insights that have evolved over
the almost nineteen years that I have lived here.

Hawaii is not like any other place.  It is lovely and welcoming at once
and very intimidating at the same time. It has inspired many people
to love this place . It's history is magnificent and varied.  It's
people are proud and fight for preservation of their culture.
This story will in no way try to convey some great insight into the
political and cultural aspects of Hawaii today, but simply try to
relate what it is like to live here on a daily basis
and what we love and appreciate about the islands that
we have come to call our home.
