Hi! I STARTED A UA-cam CHANNEL! Welcome to dwaynearoundtown! #hotels #explore #eating #thingstodo
I feel like I want to move there all the black people i seen in these "living in hawaii" videos are glowing and they look like they finally found peace. sooo.... i just might 🙂
Thanks for this I really am considering moving there , the mainland is too much , ready for peace at 30 now
How are the trucking jobs out there??
Yum bday cake macarons
So informative thank you
Thank you for taking the journey for us old heads! Very nice video!
Dwayne - you need to help me with "da bus app" so I can get to all these places. Help me out - a Kuhuna Dude in Waikiki.
And yet another beautiful YT video, Dwayne. Still don't know how to use "Da Bus App" on my phone - one day. I'm going to take a Hawaiian Culture course at the Local College. Too bad the Waikiki Trolley does not swing by Home Depot - Setting my new (small) condo (LOL). My scooter and I take "da bus" to Planet Fitness at the Ala Moana Center, just down the street from Walmart you'll.
Thank you so much for that information. I got on to your channel because I'm trying to learn how to use "Da Bus" (still learning how to use Da Bus app)? I moved here about 5 months ago, because of the beautiful interactions I've had with the Hawaiian people over the years. Lost my partner last year needed a change Honolulu was it. Living in Waikiki is a dream come true. I'm a Kupuna, retired using a handicap scooter. I really considering getting a job here, just to interact more with the Hawaiian people. Love you man. Mahalo.
how can one start to the journey to moving to Hawaii? are there any group I can join so I won't be uncomfortable
Hawaii is a huge waste of time and money.
I have just discovered your channel and I love your videos! You’re making me want to move there. I’ve been in the UK for 2 years now and I’m ready for some sunshine ☀️
I didn’t get a chance to visit Chinatown while I was in Honolulu. I want some of that ice cream please
Great conversation. As black man living in north Carolina im looking to relocate from here to racist Is getting worse after the election season. I was in Africa for a while but had to move back to the states due to income being low in Africa
20 yrs ago I came to the Big Island & I've been coming back every since, living in Honolulu is magical, my heart is full every day, even if I don't leave the house, I know I will find new adventures ❤ Thanks beloved 😊
Hawiia probably the only state where it's better to be black then white. One thing I notice there were a lot of short people when I lived there back in the 90's. Not sure if that's the case now.
Thanks my brother now I know my next move. Left los angels 18yrs for the Dominican republic. Love it here but language is the main problem here. Looking to return to the States but I understand your vibes. I have the same. Although I was the Popo in L.A. looking for no nonsense living.😊
Prices look pretty decent
I like your energy i subscribed. from australia nice video mate
Awesome! Mentally I’m in Hawaii!🤣
So useful for my trip coming up so excited
Aloha Dwayne, where have you've been?...we've all missed you...hoping to run into you again when I get there in 3 weeks....we go to Chinatown every year when we visit...congratulations on your views...Mahalo❤❤
Aloha!!! Awww thank you so much for this kind note. I started a new job, had friends and family visiting, life up and downs...a few changes here and there...but I'm back at it.

It means so much. And I say that with my heart. ❤

Great job Parker.
Awwww thank you Auntie!! 😘❤
Don't show your face when doing videos of a place/area!
...why? 🤨
I don't think I understand...don't show my face? Can you explain what you mean? Example? More context? I'm lost.
Looking good my Hawaii friend!!! Great job on the video!!! That food did look delicious!!! Keep up the work out!!! I can see the difference!!
Aloha! Awww thank you so much! Your boy is trying. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. These food videos have me so full tho! I had to walk around a little bit. lol I appreciate you.

YAAAAYY! you are back!!! I will check out the bookstores during my next visit. Also, will check out the Pig and the Lady.
Aloha!!! I'm backkkk!!!! I hope you are well. Yes, please check out these bookstores. Both places, though very different, are so awesome. It's easy to spend tons of time just hanging out and seeing all the things they offer. So many interesting things to see and lots of local items too, which I love.
I always try to make it to Pig and the Lady when we are on island, but something always happens and never able make it. Next time I will go straight there from the airport.
I second that...just get off the plane and go right over to the restaurant. 😂😂They have some new ice cream there now! I haven't tried it but I'm sure it's good. I forget how good it is and then I go and take a bite and am like..."damnnnn!" so so good! Fresh. Tasty. Flavorful. Just yes.

There are so many places I've still not been! Mahalo nui loa for watching and commenting it means so much. Shoots. 🤙🏾
03:30 Next time try to drip some bitters on your ice cream.
Whattttt???? Seriously?
@@dwaynearoundtown Seriously! Try a drop to test it out. Ask the server if anyone has done this before. Kinda like when I tell some people about putting a dash of salt on watermelon. Some say, Whaaa?! I only eat vanilla ice cream so can't vouch for how it would taste with other flavors. I made that comment because I saw the bottle of bitters in the background.
Welcome back, brah! Your vids are great ;-)
Aloha! Thank you and nice to see you too! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'ma try my best to keep them coming. 🙏🏾😎
