We have been traveling to Hawaii since the mid 1970's. We have watched all of the Islands change. The pressure placed on the people and the land probably won't be sustainable over the long haul. The prices for housing has gotten too high . That being said, we understand why this is happening. The Aloha spirit goes both ways . These days we prefer jungle settings as opposed to beachfront experiences. Our friends from Minnesota stay at the same place twice a year, and so, we stayed nearby. It was a beautiful view in a small clean apartment. Not much more a person could want for. Thank you for this opportunity to rest up. We will be saving for our next visit.
