  1. I’m just finishing up a beautiful stay in Costa Rica! The people here are amazing! Reminds of years ago in Hawaii. It is a beautiful place with volcanoes on the Pacific, great local food, the service is way over the top.
    The natives here some of the healthiest in the world, their current oldest is 126. I’ll guarantee they don’t have Hawaiian travel guides steering up the mud.
    The staff are all very friendly and appreciative of the tourists! The tourists are the ones giving them a very high standard of living.
    Very little obesity in Costa Rica, wake up Hawaii!!

  2. You can do whatever you want. I spent a lot of money and I’ll never return.

    Pros:
    Most beautiful spot I’ve ever traveled.
    Best Poke’ Ever!
    Cons:
    Islanders hate me.
    Islanders were very rude and just expected my money.
    Crackheads were everywhere. No exaggeration.
    I felt unsafe especially in Hana. It’s obvious they take “locals only” seriously.
    I could not bring my handgun. Hawaii does not reciprocate with normal conceal and carry like other states.

  3. Tourism needs to be controlled, but it is about the Money. Maybe preserve certain areas from tourists and work on the housing issues.
