Looking for the Oasis

So where am I going?

Universe will show me the way,  I thought.

When I moved to Honolulu 19 years ago, I was super happy.
This place was way country then Tokyo, where I resided 16 years.
Honolulu to me was true paradise.
I was super lucky to have magnificent ocean view from our house.

But then things changed.
City got busier and busier.
They built and built and built.   So many high rise buildings were built in short years.
( I think they are still in process of building more then 10 tall buildings).

Obviously, more and more cars were on the street.
People used to shaka me and let me squeeze in their way.
( I am sorry to say I am a horrible driver. )  No one, honked at me.
I went to the near by mall, and there was always plenty parking.
Now, people were disparately looking for the parking, even on East side of
Oahu where I live.

People started honking me, finally, someone decided to give me a finger sign.
Not so much Aloha there.

Honolulu was becoming totally different animal.
I would say, things started to change around 5 years ago, with new development of Waikiki.
Waikiki was reborn into high end shopping place.
Waikiki was no longer for regular folks, but catered to wealthy people who can spend tons of $$$.
I don't know what happened, or who let this happen.  But it just happened.
I couldn't believe when they decided to change Wakiki's #1 icon place, International market to,
Sak's fifth avenue and high end boutique mall.
They just kept the trees..
Obviously property price sky rocketed as well. 
I knew I was not able to afford anything here even in the farthest Country side.
Country was disappearing.

One day,  I read online, that there was this place called Kukuihaele, meaning dancing kukui nuts,
in Hawaiian.
People saw dancing lights in the sky from ancient years ago!!
 I got my Sis and Mom on board, and we were on the way to Waipio Valley within just few months,
and along the way, I came across little Town called Honokaa.
