Aloha! I was born on the Tripler Army Base and lived there on Oahu for several years as a young monster before moving inland and across the country (slowly but surely).
It is a beautiful place - Diamond Head is a great spot and the beaches are sweet. The Goddess of volcano's Pele is an interesting one to check out - we had one of her volcanic statues in our living room when I was a kid. Peridots are said to be her tears.
