I'm sorry if you missed that point in my other posts.

I sympathize with them and understand and support their position. They don't want to become another Kaanapali. I get that and I see that in other beautiful places in other countries that I visit.

I'm sure that they are nice to tourists, but I wasn't there as a tourist, I was there by their request.

While there, however, I did support some of their enterprises by taking the mule ride and buying two paintings by local artists.

Mahalo.
