I really want to ask a question everyone is going to hate. We visited in 2006 for a week and we had a great time. TV is top of my list for retirement in 24 months. But my husband’s friends are telling him that he will be happier in Las Vegas (a lot of people from Hawaii live there) or Arizona. Their reason is that he is a Hawaiian of Japanese ancestry. He thinks of himself as an American and would bleed red white and blue if cut I suspect. His friends say he is too nice (probably true) and naive that just because everyone was friendly on the outside doesn’t mean that we will be really accepted and included in the lifestyle. Are they right? We always think the best of people but just because people aren't rude doesn't mean that they will feel comfortable including us. I didn’t see any minorities when we where there come to think of it. I am hoping that his friends are wrong and I am worried for nothing.
