FYI....Aloha Spirit is More than just a word. The Aloha Spirit is a feeling, way of life & an attitude. You get back what you put into.....

I used to live on Oahu. I was not worthy. The whole time I lived there I knew I was on borrowed time. Every time I return, I try to be worthy.

Lol 😂 your girls reaction when they realized they ate squid. They're too cute.

Ooo probably not a place id stay. Idc about internet as much its needing electricity hook up by a sink for my Kangen water maxhine. I need to have this water at all times

Ruebens are made on rye bread not sourdough. Ill have to try it but i love rye also

Please do not MOVE YO HAWAII PERMANENTLY WE DO NOT HAVE SPACE LITERALLY AT ALL

We're PCSing in December, our first PCS. But I've been so nervous but this helped calm my nerves a little thank you. 😊

Being single and going to strip clubs all the time was paradise being there.

Your daughter is so brave! Great turtle activity, which beach is this?

Your MIL s face is shown quiet a few times. 😅 John and the girls look like her.

But your kids rock. I can't belive how much they can do at their age. Makes me feel awful as a mother. I wouldn't let my kids do anything. And now I'm begging them to but they don't want to. I should have started them young like you do

Hmmmm.... the max speed there in your neighborhood is 15. Yes I am that person. Because I'm always afraid someone is gonna hit a kid or a dog.

Raised a military brat and married into it. I get it. But I experienced it more when I was raised into it. I was blessed as my husband didn't have too many TDYs but I've had many friends and family over the years deal with it with their spouses. Thanks for the story. A few tears rolled down my face listening. I'd love to hear your guys story. Hopefully you remember.

But the base housing had backup generators. Whats their excuse for no power for yall

Your an amazing mom. Lol all these adventures they are on and they do it so well

Don't forget Waminae valley if your in a wheelchair there's a big golf cart that takes you to the top unfortunately they won't take your wheelchair so then you can't get out and theybstay for 5 seconds and you see jack crap. That's what they did to my dad because my husband walked his wheel chair up and by the time he got to the top the ride took my dad and me and mom back down. There was no where comfortable to sit and wait. The island is NOT ADA compliant . It was so hard on my dad. But next time I can go and hike it up. It's not a difficult hike. It's easy and k I'd friendly

Sorry for your loss

The day we left Hawaii we lost my dad. We only left so he could get care. It was too expensive in Hawaii so we sent him abdbmy mom 2 days ahead of us so we could spend our anniversary in Hawaii then we woke up to ge ton our plane to go back to the mainland and got a call my dad passed. I hoping I get to come back to Hawaii and do it over again because like I've said we missed out a lot between taking care of my dad with dementia and thr covid restrictions. So it will be 3 yrs this December I lost him. At leat I got to spend 1 last year in Hawaii with him everyday and made sure he was taken care of. The VA paid me to take care of him even though it was full time. It was exhausting but no regrets

That twitchy feeling is called it's powerband. Why the heck do you have flip flops on!!!😮

They should have given you upgrade for free or gi cc e you a major discount on the one they gave you

Thank you for sharing your story. Anyone who has lived the military life can make a life anywhere. My husband spent 33 years in the Army and I have no regrets. We lived through no-pay-due, lousy housing, lots of cockroaches, frozen and broken water pipes. I get it, it’s not an easy life. We lived all over, Tacoma, Wa, Ft. Campbell, KY, Schweinfurt, Germany, three years in Hawaii. Three years in Germany, that was tough. No pay due and lousy exchange rate. We had friends living on the economy who couldn’t pay rent or buy groceries because of the exchange rate. The unit collected funds to help those soldiers and their families. And trying to raise four kids on a Specialist’s pay? We had food stamps for a while. Four kids and countless moves later I look back and miss that life. I miss the friendships and moving around. But, man, the memories! It was amazing!

Im more terrified of jelly fish. Ive watched a lot of ocean ramsey so i can see how you cna control thr situaito. But jelly fish um no and you dont always see them. And it dont matter what you do theyll sting you atill. Actually you bump them and get stung by them. Lol

In 2021 they wouldnt let my dying dad into the Us Arizona. Because he was diabetic and no bags but i had to have his insulin on for ER. It wad a small diabetic bag and they said no then they gave us attitude andbthen found out it was canceled and didnt refund our money. My dad never got to go and he died the day we left. This time im gonna get to enjoy hawaii with no restrictions and not being someones caregiver. I was so busy with VA apts with him i rarely saw a lot but i still enjoyed it. The Luas were closed at that time.

You werent scare? Ive heard of dolphins takinf people down to their cove andndrowning then to death then trying to mate with them. I heard they can be jerks. How do you know when to stay aeay from them

We were there during all the covid restrictions so a lot was open . Im looking forward to going back with things open now. You look aamzing. You look like youve lost some weight since the first video i saw when you moved on Schofield and it had been 48hrs. Hawaii does that to you. I didnr even try and i ate so much good food and lost weight there. Its the Hawaii magic

Rainbow vacuum helps with dogs. I have one

Lol the scorpion centipedes are worse but you probably have the issues with coackroaches because the house has probably been vacant for awhile befire you moved in

The no digging is because of the WW11 chemicals theyve got about 12inches of top soil to cover it and f you dig youll release them

aye respect for making this video as a local who was born and raised you covered it great

This was so helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼

Please change this caption!!! Don’t move here

This video is perfect. Thank you.

I subscribed bc I just LOVE your family & all your adventures! I used to vlog, and watching your videos makes me want to get back into it so badly! I just love having the memories to look back on. The kids love seeing old videos, too ❤️ Pertaining to your PCS, was your stay (not including parking because that’s its own beast lol) at the Hilton Hawaiian Village fully covered by TLA? Thanks, sis!

Why don’t the army reimburse me? The dog is part of my family. I can’t have kids so this is my kid :(

Well i am born and raised here if you dnt like dnt ruin ut fir other people who may want to visit or move here

I love Honda CRF. I even have one like today and I'm a boy and I'm really good at writing. It's one of my favorite brands

Stay on the foam it will help her with her pop up

Been here almost 3 years and thank baby Jesus I’m leaving in 19 days. Can’t freaking WAIT! I absolutely do NOT like it here and can say this was my least favorite place in my 20 year career. Beyond happy to be leaving…I will never step foot in Hawaii for the rest of my life!

I was good to go after one week there. Lovely but very limited.

Love the videos. You have a wonderful perspective on travel! Mahalo for sharing your experiences.

Hi! Great video. We are taking my son out snorkeling for the first time in Maui next month. What kind of vest is your oldest daughter wearing? It looks low profile and less bulky than what I already have. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the wonderful shots and comments of the Kauai shores hotel. It was one of the few choices we could afford and your video helped me to feel good about our choice!! Thank you!

The more non Hawaiians who move to Hawaii, the more Hawaiians are forced to leave. What is Hawaii without Hawaiians?😊

These problems are non-problems. For all of which you complain, the remedy is easy. Nobody needs an air conditioner when you can pour over your head a bucket of water. Electricity?… perfect solution…..connect to your electric fuse box a foot pedal operated generator and start pedaling. Food costs too high?…grab your K-Bar and head for the jungle. You’ll be gaining weight in no time.

Such an informative video! Thank you!

In Maryland I had both grandparents come to see us. First it was My dads parents in August 2009 just I was starting MacArthur middle school and we went to Lancaster together. My dads parents also came out in the Spring 2011 and we did a boat museum together and Fort Mchenry. Then in November 2009 my mothers parents came for thanksgiving and little did we know that they brought swine flu on the plane to our house in Allsworth we did go to New York together and saw the thanksgiving day parade. They also came out in October 2013 for my grandmas birthday and we went to cheesecake factory for her birthday and saw the Naval Academy. In the Summer of 2014 when my grandparents came out to see us Me and my parents and Grandparent went to the museums in DC. Then In December 2016 when my grandparents came for Christmas that year. We went back to Annapolis and my grandfather nose bled a lot. The last time my grandparents came out was last year in July 2023 and I went to Ellicott City with my grandmother and her sister who drove to see us from New Hampshire and she has been living New Hampshire for a while now. We also saw the Fort Meade Fireworks together.

In Colorado I had my dads parents visit me from California once they drove out to our house from California to see us because back then we were only 3 states away and closest to California. We went to the Colorado mills mall and they brought their dog Boo with them who since passed away a long time ago they had 3 other dogs Missy and Freaky and Bear but those dogs did not go with them.

For those who did not see the previous videos and comments This reminds me of when my aunt and uncle and cousins and my cousin's other grandmother came to see me once in Hawaii in February 2008. I went swimming with my cousin at the Hale koa pool and I went to Bucca De beppo with them. I also have had grandma and grandpa come out to Hawaii to see us one for my grandfathers birthday in March 2007 while my dad was away in Iraq. Another time was for Thanksgiving 2007 and Me and my parents and grandparents went to the big island. We also at outside in our backyard at our house at Gemini Avenue. The third time was June 2008 when my grandma came out for my 11th birthday since my dad was away in South Korea for 2 weeks. The fourth time was October 2008 to help take care of me while my mother was in the hospital for personal health reasons and to help take care of my mother when she came out of the hospital. My grandma also took me trick or treating for Halloween that since my mother could not for health reasons and we celebrated her birthday in my mother’s hospital room.

Love your drone shots! ❤
