Hi cassie, sori so long to respond, busy with the children. the weather here is getting better. was really hot and muggy now its gettin "A LITTLE" cooler with sum wind. i think it'l be a hot summah. nice to meet you! hope to hear from u again:) Ng

I just got back from CA & PA and all that's in between the east coast NJ, NY, DE, and D.C :)

Howdy!,
In the few times I've visited the Big Isle, I've never been to Kalapana! Famous for the black sand beaches, yes? One visit my sister and I got to see the Kailua-Kona side. I remember it being lots of fun, but I don't remember anything specific.

I do remember eating more mango and papaya than I may ever eat again! Not a big fan of poi, though...

I have not heard of Uncle Robert Keliihoomalu; does he have any recordings available? I'd enjoy learning of some of the "modern traditionalists." I don't know much about slack key, myself, though I have experimented with alternate tunings and slide work. I just don't practice them enough to become proficient. I'm more of a flatpicker, though I do some occasional fingerpicking. Give me a chord progression and a basic melody, and I can improvise all day.

I am trying to remember more about my few visits, but it's coming back too slowly. I will not give up! In the meantime, what is Hilo like today? Are there any parts that are still the same as they were 25 years ago? Is there more development between Hilo and Pahoa and Kapoho?

Aloha from Kauai~
Nice to see you here!

Thanks for your reply. I am glad to hear from you. I like the movies you have listed too. Walk To Remember was so sad. But I really enjoyed it. I cried. I am a huge horror and Disney fan. My favorite movies are always changes so I have the main ones on my profile that ever change. No I have not seen Twilight yet. Heaps of people have said it was good so I am going to hire it out when I have a free night. I am a dvdaholic. Half the dvds I own I have not watched yet. I can never go shopping without buying a dvd. I look forward to getting to know you better. Take care and talk soon.

HAHA yeah, well as much as I have friends here in Melbourne ... I do have alot of close friends I talk to online and more so on MSN :P, its actually convenient and I do enjoy catching up playing online games with them and just generally chatting about random stuff!!! So how do you like Interpals?

HAHA noooooo, I'm just sitting here watchin a little TV. Well its 5pm over here at the moment, what time is it in sunny Hawai? I'm assuming its sunny there, because whenever I see Hawai on TV I think of palm trees and tropical sunsets :P.

Well I've been sick myself too, was actually getting better on Sunday but then for some reason I got sick again yesteryday! Hey I always welcome more people to randomly chat to when I'm bored :P, keeps my life moving even on those boring days HEHE! I currently work for myself and do Consulting in IT, not very exciting but it has its moments which can be interesting : )

wow...l'd love to visit your island sometime. l hear it's nice out there.

Hi Cassie! How are you my friend, well I've been looking for a pal in Hawai HAHA, just in case I need a tour guide when I get there :P, so hows your day been! I just got home, been a long day at work and pretty tired my friend :P

Hey girl,

You into snail mail - I'll love to exchange letters with ya. I have been out of the state. Actually, I just returned. This is my 3rd week back home now. But I was out for almost 2 months. Well little more than a month & a half. Anyways, let me know.
