I have a good freind that lives in Hawaii. He tells me that a lot of the residents are drug addled (adult) children of wealth whose parents sent them to Hawaii to get rid of them. His descriptions of some of the non-tourist places sounds like the third world, if that advanced.
My BIL lives on Maui, and thank goodness he's too broke to get back to the mainland! him and his buddies live like a bunch of freakin bums. sent us a postcard one thanksgiving whining because he had been kicked out of his house and had to stay on the beach,we sent him a postcard of a huge turkey with the trimmings.hehe he dosnt call us to whine ever now. but he calls his parents and the guy is in his late 40's get a life !!!!
