I also read the funny bunny story. We have one to tell too, of a different nature. We went to the Sunday Brunch at the Hyatt and brought back a white chocolate bunny for a friend. We made the mistake of stopping at the Lahaina craft fair on the way home. Guess what, when our friend opened the box, there lay a pretty flat white chocolate bunny. She loved it anyway and said it was delicious. <abbr><em>Julie Roberts’s last blog post..<a href="http://mauivacationguide.blogspot.com/2009/04/guys-and-dolls-fabulous-musical-theatre.html" rel="nofollow">Guys and Dolls - Fabulous Musical Theatre in Maui</a></abbr></em> Thanks for the yummy advise on where to get the best Maui fried chicken.

The majority of people on the islands are some of the most down to earth people you could ever meet. We do most of our visiting and vacationing in Oahu, which is also where we conduct most of our business. We ourselves have received horrible treatment and even downright harassment from the local people that hang out on Waikiki strip, but we have also met individual shop owners and people on-line that have evolved into what we now consider our very best friends. I don’t mean to rant but I will admit that I was a bit disappointed by the treatment a few individuals dished out on my last visit. Maybe if they understood that approximately 70% of the revenues we take in on the mainland are actually re-distributed back to the island, they would possibly change their tune and get some Aloha in their hearts. Regardless, no matter what island you visit, the overwhelming majority of people you meet do indeed have a lot of “Aloha spirit”. Visiting the islands is a trek that everyone should make at least once a year. Mahalo Aloha,
