You seem like the moderator who steps in with definitive answers to non-shopping type questions. As always I'm glad to receive your guidance. If you ever head for Hawaii I would love to respond in kind. The natives are clannish, the arrivistes (sp) are greedy, but the physical plant is comparable to Bali, but it doesn't have its' sense of being there forever. Bali is like a tropical Valhala where the gods still walk in real time. There are spots like that in Hawaii, but they are few and far between. The guy I would like to sit and spend some time with is the old man with the umbrella who uses it to push the monkeys away from the banana marauding monkeys while selling banana bags. I'll wager he got some great stuff going on his head. Me too!
