Ok, so I have been listening to music from Hawaiian musicians, bought a couple Aloha shirts, and have been obsessing over any Internet links having to do with Hawaii (I now know when the sun will set in every town we stay at!), but maybe I have gone too far. The day before our trip we will hang out with a native Hawaiian for the evening!
Actually, just a strange coincidence. I have always enjoyed encouraging student athletes at UNM, where I work, and a Lobo volleyball player has invited one of her friends, a soccer player, to join my wife and I at an exhibition basketball game for our women's team. And her friend is a native Hawaiian that lives on Oahu. So I guess I am not totally over the top yet, but getting pretty close.
Seriously, thanks to your recommendation Dave, the Revealed books really give a lot of good information and I don't feel like I need to pump someone that lives there for places to go and see. So I probably will not pester our guest too much about the islands! I probably have pestered everyone on the forum enough as it is.
And in order to try not to make this a totally useless post I have discovered that we can download a spell check tool and use it to check spelling on our posts. For me about every third word gets checked so it is a very handy tool. I have been spelling Hawaiian (I have been spelling it Hawaiin) wrong and now I know better.
