    Re: How long have you lived away from Hawaii!

    4 years, 3 months, 12 days...

    I might be moving to SF next year, so at least a little bit closer than NYC. Eventually I will be going back home, hopefully in the next 2-3 years. Hey, I'm a librarian, so I get no mo' kala no matter where I live...

      AuntieNellie: There is a need for SCHOOL librarians coming up...but you need a teaching certificate too. So if you have one, start searching...you may get lucky and get back to HI sooner than you think!

        Aloha Mocha,

        I think it was meant for me. Much Mahalo for the sentiment and I hope your visit to Vallejo is good. The temp is increasing and 100 degrees expected here. Once in awhile it gets that hot near Vallejo but not to often. I hope you enjoy your time in California.
        I spent time with my 3 sons and 2 out of 3 grandsons. What a blast we had traveling.
        Oh yeah, theres a hukilau resturant in San Fran I like and if you are in the area there you ought to try it too. give me what you think.

        Alot of mahalo and throw kisses to you,
        Aleno

            There's the Aloha fest the 7th and 8th in San Fran. I plan to take my youngest boy to that. Were you planning on going?

            Mahalo, being with my sons really put me back on track. Nothing beats family.

              Unfortunately I don't have a teaching cert, if I did I would probably be back home working for the DOE as a zookeeper, uh, I meant teacher... I've considered going back to school for a Master's in Education if I could do it part time.

              My focus is more college/university level, but I could work at the Hawai'i Medical Library(I've taken some medical administration classes and used to work in the billing dept. at Straub), at a law firm or the public system.

                I'm planning on going to this, sounds fun.

                Does anyone know of any local style bakeries in the SF Bay area? I know get plate lunch places but I'm jonesing for guava chiffon cake, chantilly cake, malasadas, etc...

                    Aloha,

                    Give a little history why you live away for so long, east coast tropics.

                    What state are you in and have you been back since you left?

                                Yesterday made 20 years since I moved away from the state of Hawaii. I've only been back once for 1 week when my father died in 1999. a lot had changed from when I lived there. I plan to move back when I retire and wealthy enough to live comfortably.
                                I've been away for 33 yrs. But, I go home occasionally which is nice. I'm going again in 2 1/2 weeks. Can't wait. Big family reunion at the Laapahoehoe Point Beach so that will be really fun. Talk story and kau kau local grins.
