      Just to let you know, I gave up city life in Chicago (30+yes) 5 years ago to move to Kauai. Do not regret it! The very first visit felt like coming home and after many more visits I knew I needed to be here. I decided I needed to move as light as possible and only came with what would fit into 3 suit cases. Was it easy once I got here? Heck No! I just knew I was meant to be here. So if your desire is strong you can do anything. My grandpa always says “ where there is a will there is a way “ Follow your heart. It may mean making certain sacrifices things you may think are important to your lifestyle may not be that important to achieve your desires.
      Aloha

    I hate to be a debbie downer, but it's not good for hermit crabs to have paint on their shells. I'm not criticizing to make anyone feel bad, but if they want to have hermit crab races they could use a sticker instead of paint. Glitter is especially terrible for the crabs, and the environment. I love glitter, but since I've learned of its negative impact I've stopped using it. If you want to know more about the abuses of hermit crabs by big chain pet stores just research it, there's videos out there that show the sad plight of these little crabs.

    Are you going to acknowledge that the primary function of the British island relationship is to hide enormous wealth from taxation and scrutiny? It’s not all fun and games.

    This documentary refers to Mr. Donovan as speaking 'Caribbean pidgin English' . Never heard that term before... what is it?
