Oh no...am born and bred here in Hawaii. LOL My grandparents (both sides) came here in the early 1900's. My maternal grandparents came to Hawaii from Okinawa to work in the sugar cane fields on the Big Island of Hawaii. My paternal grandparents came from Japan to work in the pineapple fields on the island of Maui. My mother's first marriage was an arranged marriage and left her a widow at the age of 35 with 5 children. Back in those days, there was no medical insurance nor life insurance. She met my father a few years later....a love marriage. She said "love marriage" was better. LOL My husband is from Colorado so I've been to a few of the mainland states....Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Washington, California and Oregon. Someday visiting the East Coast States are on my wish list.
