    Gummypia- if living in Las Vegas teaches you anything it’s how to entertain guests and stay within a budget! It’s so cheap to fly to Vegas from just about anywhere that the guest room rarely empty! I’m looking forward to a quieter island lifestyle! Whew! And Hilo is WAAAY slow!! 😉 can’t wait to meet you! Yippee!!

    i love hilo, and the whole puna area.  the black sand beach, the red road, the natural steam vents – and the slow pace.  i feel so peaceful there.  🙂

    Tarah – Yes, it's sad what's happening to FFG, it's still somehow surviving here in HNL. How's it going in Maui? Found a new spot to teach yet?

    Well, if you ever visit Honolulu, you should try a class at Samadhi! Not too sure about aerials in Maui, tried googling it and found this: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Esti-Aerial-Art/132070556808090 Looks like thestudiomaui.com has aerial yoga but I don't see the beginner's aerial dance like it advertised in the FB page… maybe you can contact the teacher and ask. I forget where you live, but looks like this is in Haiku. And there are workshops on the Big Island in April and July at Kalani Retreats with Wailana and Andrea (our teacher… she's amazing, you'll love her. She was the original Hina in Ulalena, maybe you've seen it?): http://www.kalani.com/workshops/listings And if you find yourself in Kauai you might want to give Anabelle d'Artois of Cocoon Aerial a call… http://www.cocoonaerialdance.com My pole friends and I are going for a weekend trip this Feb, and we booked some classes with her. So excited about that… she'll be rigging the silks up in monkeypod trees! 

    Trixie – I love the Big Island too! I've been there several times for work and for play. There's just so much to explore over there! Hilo side, Kona side, the volcanoes, the mountains… you name it! Entertaining in Honolulu just really breaks the wallet. People who visit me always want to go party in Waikiki and I hate hate HATE going down there! It's so congested and all the prices are soooooo jacked up! Like you, I enjoy the slower, more laid back sort of lifestyle 🙂

    Hey Pia ;). Yes, I, too love Samadhi! it’s how I have met many of my close friends here after I moved from the mainland. getting involved in something when you move is always a great way to meet people. Lady Throttle have you had a chance to go to the studio yet?

    Lady Throttle, at any rate, you'll be made to feel welcome if you end up either in FFG or Samadhi (or both) if you end up in Oahu. The girls at FFG are sweet, and the people at Samadhi are friendly so it's easy to make friends in either place.  But like Corby said, just getting involved in something is a great way to meet people here. There's just so much to do, everyone eventually finds something that they enjoy and makes friends in the process. 🙂

    hey gummypia – thanks for the info!  i have never tried anything aerial – yoga, silks, hammock, etc. but i think they go well with pole, and it would be great to have a studio that offered both!  the studio maui is kind of expensive.  i used to go there for yoga when i first moved here, thinking i would meet friends, but i never met any friends there.  i may check out those aerial classes, but i'm really more interested in pole!  haven't heard anything from our ffg lady….
