aloha from north dakota

[manatua]

hi everyone i am haleiwa but have been in north dakota going to nursing school. i have family here. i find myself missing hawaii so much and not only when it is 20 below zero here. i hope to finish my schooling and return to hawaii. however i see it is getting more expensive every year in hawaii which saddens me. even when i become an rn i don't know if hawaii is even affordable anymore. but i just wanted to read blogs from people from hawaii it helps me reminis about hawaii and the great people , customs , food, and daily life of hawaii......

Hi Manatua

Join da far from home club ! I've been gone from HI for over 10 years myself, with no family with me other than my keiki's, been wanting to go back myself as well, to be close to my family but it just doesn't seem to be happening that way...this a great place to share your thoughts or just wala'au with peeps from back home or all over, so kick off your shoes, relax in your favorite chair and have fun! See you around the boards!

Aloha, Manatua...your last name wouldn't happen to be Manutai would it? I am from Waialua/Haleiwa as well and graduated from Waialua HS in the early 80s...welcome to HT!
