Have you ever considered ditching the job, selling everything, and running away to start a new life on a sunbathed island? "Dead and Buried in a Cane Field" ( a local, albeit morbid, expression) is my story continued. It is an honest look at Hawai'i when it's less rainbows, waterfalls, and sunshine and more loneliness, hardship, and frustration. I love Lahaina Town, but building a Bed and Breakfast there was both a monumental challenge and the greatest accomplishment of my life. Hawai'i will test your courage and commitment to whatever dream you're chasing in more ways than you may imagine. So, before you go wheels up, know what you're getting into and why most transplants don't last a year.
