Aloha!
I had the honor of visiting your beautiful area. Just Oahu. I was there for a traditional wedding for three weeks. Beautiful. Everything was hand made over 400 people and even the decorations were beautifully woven banana leaves and tea leaves ginger flowers, oh goodness! Oh how the hibiscus was lovely!
Learned many things. Very generous hosts. We were in the country on the northshore. I actually did my very first snorkling in Hawaii! I love the ocean and this experience brought tears to my eyes! I have never seen so many beautiful fish in my life!
I hope you find this board as welcoming and good hosts as you were for me!
