I've been lurking on these boards for a little while now, and finally decided to join in the fun here. I usually can be found on the www.ohanalanai.com boards (hi Mokihana, Izzie and da rest of you from da Lanai! )
I'm hoping this board will keep me in touch with what's going on locally; I left Maui in 1967 and now go back for visits twice a year but that's not the same as having to suffer in 80+ degree weather and humidity every day! LOL
On "da Lanai" I can practice my pidgin. Like many of you, proper English was something you had to speak in order "to get ahead" but since I've been up here for so long, speaking pidgin is a gas! It's like speaking another foreign language. Along the way, I've also been picking up more Hawaiian and definitely more of an appreciation for what's there in the 'aina.
A hui hou,
Miulang
