Moku'aina o Hawai'i

Nah neva

I don't know if that was implied pidgin English but that reminded me - Because my wife had family down there who she hadn't seen in 12 years plus all her family's old friend, we were bombarded by loads of people speaking some degree of pidgin English to us very affectionately. I have this problem where I tend to start adopting the style of speech of those around me very quickly which is easy to hide on the west coast but not so much anywhere else. I really feel like a douche when I do it... it was pretty hard not to reply with 'yeah yeah yeah' or start using phrases like 'talk story' and 'auwe'

I'm going to go with yes.

OH btw did you ever drive up to like, the other end of the island from Waikiki and go to the botanical gardens? That was one of the parts of that trip I really ended up enjoying, it was super-pretty fo' reals.

Aside from that I think anything you do there that isn't lying on a beach / by a pool and lookin' out at the beautiful ocean is pretty much a waste of time.

OH WAIT drinking ridiculously coloured alcoholic beverages, that also counts as time not wasted.
