Re: Introduction, some "backstory" first!
Originally posted by Mike_Lowery View PostI don't think I could live in a country area, but I sure as hell love visiting them! What's a good "country" place to visit/stay while on vacation in The Lou?
I was there for a while. During stay at local B&B until I rented place; met a couple from PA who got so taken with place...they eventually moved there! Local dining place with good reputation has popular breakfast each Saturday...with dancing! http://www.cafedesamis.com/ Note this is 2+ hours away via interstate from New Orleans. As in Hawaii, history has made different areas/islands unique. Here its north vs. south and then to itself, New Orleans!
Now, if someone were fans of UH Warriors football, they might want to coordinate a visit with the farewell WAC visit to my alma mater October 1. (I think everyone is ready for this one particular "long distance relationship" to come to conclusion! Someone told me Tech's travel expenses will drop by 50%!)
I always thought that there'd be some extra interest generated for when these teams from such divergent backgrounds came together but no...mostly it was just the game done and get back on the plane!
I listened/read some of the Honolulu media via Internet about their opinions of our area...boy do we come off quirky! i.e. Bobby Currin talks about the "critters" we have. I have personally seen centipedes there and been very impressed!
(Do know that many UH fans/media do like to do the casinos over in Shreveport, though! BTW the team has usually stayed in Monroe where no casinos operate.)
Well, Mike, how was that for a start?

BTW Garden Isle's island I've visited the most.
That's the thing, you make the turn off the road near the hospital to see the falls and next thing you're driving across open fields alot like where I am from...only there's more different than the same!

Most residents are a bit more subdued, if I get your meaning right.
An exchange of big "Aloha" shouts is more associated with Waikiki tourist promotions than with local folk. Still, any aloha is welcome. And BTW, aloha - welcome to HT.
Originally posted by Merely Malihini View PostSo no travel or relocation plans for me now but will be trying to spread some parts of aloha locally if able, paddle in hand. Hope to learn a little more and maybe share an observation or two.

Realized later that this might be misunderstood. Above is actually me responding to the welcome from the administrator with the email letter that "green lights" activity on HT and not me acting "big shot", okay?
I should know better! Getting "green light" in Honolulu sometimes means that going blindly into intersection is an invitation to be a speed bump for that guy in the jacked up pickup with big tires coming other way! (Or is that more likely on Kaua'i?) Mahalo.Last edited by Merely Malihini; May 31, 2011, 10:43 AM. Reason: add word and correct grammar! (a little bit!)
