TEXASGIRLMAMMA : I didn't fully appreciate my home state of Hawaii until I moved to the mainland. I do feel very lucky to be able to come home.
@Kalena : We went there for 2 weeks about 5 years ago. I did not ever feel homesick. It feels like it will be different like going to Europe cause the flight is so long and you have to go over lots of water but, it's not! All the signs are in English, driving is the same, everyone speaks English, and lots of the same restaurants. I loved it and would go back in a flash if I could.
