1. Does it get cold in the winter months?
Not really. It rarely gets below 75 during the day. When the temperature gets below 60 at night, it makes the tv news.

2. What is the time difference from the continental United States?
From the west coast, we are 3 hours behind in the summer & 2 hours in the winter.

3. What are the people like?
Generally, I find the people to have a lot of genuine Aloha Spirit. If you are open minded, tolerant, respectful of the aina (land) & the culture, & not acting like everything is so much better wherever you came from, you should fit in OK. However, there is a minority of people (mostly lower income, lower education level) who resent Caucasian people & blame them for their own difficulties. There are historical reasons that justify this, to a limited extent. But it’s no fun when you are blamed for things that happened generations ago, when your great grandparents were living in say, Sweden.

4. How hot does it get in the summer, or year round?
It get into the high 90’s in the summer & fall. Usually, there are trade winds which make the heat more tolerable. When we have Kona weather & it gets humid, it can be uncomfortable. But it’s nowhere as bad as the east coast in July or August.

5. What is the biggest city in Hawaii?
Honolulu is really the only place in Hawaii that feels like a city. Hilo is the next largest & it feels more like a town.

6. What colleges are in Hawaii, and what kind of courses do they have?
The University of Hawaii has 4 year programs in Honolulu, west Oahu, & Hilo & community colleges on Oahu (Kapiolani, Honolulu, & Leeward & Windward), the Big Island, Kauai & Maui. There are a couple of private universities in Honolulu: Chaminade & Hawaii Pacific University. They offer a wide variety of courses of study.

7. Is the beach nice?
The beaches are incredible.

8. How long does it take to fly from California (San Francisco, let’s say) to Hawaii?
About 5 hours depending on whether you have a head wind or a tail wind.
