We lived for 15 years in O'ahu. Bought our 1st home, graduated from UHManoa, in a hula halau, and worship with our local and Samoan ohana. It was a great experience and deep friendships and aloha. There's nothing like it. Someday, I'd like to buy a condo or a small townhome again and make frequent trips. There's nothing like the aloha spirit in Hawai'i!🤙🏽🌺
I’m so thankful for your videos. My husband, my self and our 4 kids are moving to Oahu in a couple months. You’re so informative and kind. I literally want to hug you!! Thank you !!
Nice job giving an authentic locals' view of Hawaii. You give a perspective that can't be provided as accurately by someone who has lived in Hawaii for only a few years. I always enjoy your take on Hawaii life.🤙
Mahalo SO much for these videos! We were residents in Oahu for a few years and had to move due to our jobs; but the aloha got into our souls! Now we return every couple of years to visit friends and the kids are old enough to want to return. Fingers crossed we move back to the Hawaii ohana!
Aloha , for the update on Kona brewing…. draught beer in brewed in Kona for the islands only, in their new facility they are now canning longboard & big wave only …says on the can brewed in Kona, Hawaii, but the bottles are bottled & shipped from the mainland .🍻 Also the OG owner still controls the brewery & the restaurant in Kona…. ABI owns & controls the brand every where else 🌺
The clinging to high school and extreme celebration of it happens in towns where most people stay there their whole lives, and generation after generation. Full-grown adults talk about their high school rivalries and keep up with who wins the "big game" forever.
You gotta specify which kind of 80s music locals love. It's not Duran Duran, OMD, Depeche Mode, etc., or Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, etc. I had to "headphone" myself when I put those artists on my radio. Yet freestyle and 80s R&B was "louder, please". Nothing wrong with that.
It was I-94 or 93.9. Now, it's KUMU 94.7 that plays old school. I'm still having a hard time accepting Ace of Base and TLC are old. LOL. @@jonnuanez7183
Love these videos! You forgot poi dogs!!! And you forgot the banners on fences for high school grads. Something you don’t see on mainland anywhere!!! And for sports, MMA…def more popular here than mainland!
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Mrs Angelia marie.
Don't know that your explanation for the origin of ha'ole is correct. I learned the origin is from the Hawaiian custom of how they would share their breath when greeting one another. They would touch foreheads together and exhale, allowing their breath to mingle. When Capt. Cook and other Westerners came to the islands, they did not do this sharing of breath, hence ha'ole, or without breath. (Personally, the traditional greeting can be difficult, especially when someone has hauna breath. Locals will understand what I'm saying.)
I remember there used to be a couple of little hole in the wall Mexican restaurants that I knew of, but that goes back at least 20-30+ years ago. Don't know if either one is still there. I went to one of them on N. School Street with a friend of Mexican ancestry, who was originally from California. He vouched for their authenticity, and I had to agree the food was excellent.
Technically, yes. I was born in Missouri. My mom is Hawaiian and born & raised in Hawaii, but hey, I didn’t choose to be Hawaiian and born in the mainland, so don’t hold it against me.

Haha! You are TOTALLY right. It’s Lisa Lisa, Debbie Deb, Cherelle, Trinere, TKA, Stevie B, Cover Girls, Exposé…
@@mailagibson6787 I forget which station out there played all that (it's been near 10 years), but I usually had that one on.

Any Mexican food??
Gosh…if there’s one thing we lack, it’s Mexican food and I swear we love it!
