    What a wonderful introduction, @Logan Bellgamin ! Welcome to the forum, and looking forward to hearing your stories about life in Hawaii. Which island to you live on, and did you always live there, or just moved there ?
    My daughter took me with her to Oahu about 2 years ago when she had to be there for work, and I totally loved it there ! They had the city busses that went all over, and every day, i went on a different trip around the city of Honolulu .

    Hello Logan and welcome. Looking forward to some interesting conversations! My oldest son lived in Hawaii until Kīlauea ran him back to Oregon.

    Welcome, from the Rocky Mountain State of Colorado. When I was in the Navy, at San Diego Naval Station, my WestPac Cruise to Vietnam in December 1968, our first stop was Pearl. For a few hours, me a some sailor friends, were able to leave the ship and play around in Waikiki.

    Very nice folks here and some really great discussions.
