Could Hawaii be losing it's Aloha Spirit? - Tiki Travel

If you have not traveled to any of the other islands, you cannot truly feel aloha. I just spent some time looking for land on the Big Island, and found that although sceptical of haole's, if you show respect than you will be respected. I surf, and the culture in the water is a real good sign as how to deal. If you look / act like a tourist / mainlander, thats how your treated. Once again show respect and the locals "sense" your cool. I have found nothing but warm open arms when visiting, but I don't tend to stay at the Honolulu Marriott either.
