Haha! I'm really enjoying these new "daily log of my life" posts of yours. Reminds me back to the time I spent in Hawaii. I didn't have money then (nor do I now) so was limited in my experience, but did manage to work on an organic farm on a mountain on the North Shore of Oahu, and work in a hostel on the Big Island. I did encounter people there who had money and were living in nice situations. Once spent a night in the house of some US professor who lived literally right on the ocean on the North Shore. It was like I was sleeping IN THE OCEAN. It's interesting that you mention your support for Trump. I have been considering the idea of returning to the US (after fleeing 13 years ago), but have been concerned about how horrendous the political environment would likely be - depending on where you go. You got me thinking that Hawaii could be a SAFER place for someone who is generally moderate-right. Are there a lot of Trump supporters in your area on the Big Island right now? I would think there would be MORE than, let's say, the more liberal Oahu (just when considering Hawaii). Interested in your thoughts...
