Thanks all, I think that I get by because I have learned who my XW really is and I am much better without her.
FIB, I think Kanaapali is on Mauai. You probably hiked the Na Pali Coast on the Kalalau trail to Hanakapiai Beach.
BBJ, it really does not rain that much here so I doubt that is the reason for the "saddest place to live". It could be that the price of crystal meth and black tar heroine has gone up. Actually, I read some surveys and studies that determined that liberals are less happy than conservatives. Portland is quite a liberal city and that may explain why it was surveyed as a sad place to live. Some might say it is the Californians that escaped to here only to find that relocating does not bring happiness. I personally think it is a great place to live, but I was born here and I classify myself as a conservative thinker.
