Hawaii is not a state of mind, but a state of grace.

Extensive traveling induces a feeling of encapsulation; and travel, so broadening at first, contracts the mind

I don't look down on tourism. I live in Hawaii where we have 7 million visitors a year. If they weren't there, there would be no economy. So I understand why a tourist economy is necessary.

Hawaii's the 50th state? I thought it was a suburb of Guam.

We don't have anything to be ashamed of in Hawaii, but there are other places that have obviously had a really dynamic time over the last decade and where the cost of living is a lot lower.
