[QUOTE="totoro, post: 313358, member: 3155"] Not to be negative, but being an "outsider" on the Islands can be tough on kids. He needs to be prepared for this also. My Brother was in the military over there and had a hard time. He loved it and hated it. But he partied A LOT! Expensive, but wonderful for all of the differences he was able to experience. His wife that he met there grew up on the Islands, but she was "white" and she had some stories good and bad about growing up there. I have a lot of friends who have moved back and forth as young adults and love it, but it takes a bit to fit in. It is a tight community in most places and they are open but cautious. I have had good experiences there and I am still very close to my ex-sister in law who grew up all over Hawaii. If you do go, I can ask her any thing you would want to know before hand and even once you are there. She is sweet and one of the kindest people I know. She also knows a lot about the Military side of things there. I believe her Mom still lives there. You have had so many experiences in life, one more, you can handle this! [/QUOTE]
