I\u2019m in Hawaii, on the island of Maui, listening to the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore. I\u2019m okay with this.\n\n\n\nHow, why, what? Well, the short version is that my brother\u2019s girlfriend ended up getting hooked up with a week in Maui, and the place was big enough that they decided to invite me along. So it\u2019s me, my brother, his girlfriend, and her kids.\n\n\n\nWhile I recognize that it\u2019s, y\u2019know, during a pandemic, and I do feel a bit guilty about being \u201cpart of the problem\u201d (so to speak), we\u2019ve been doing our due diligence. Hawaii requires negative COVID tests, documented and certified by trusted testing partners, in order to not be quarantined and checking in daily for 10 days, which we did. One of us is even vaccinated (both doses). And at a certain point of stress and depression (and frankly the pure temptation of free lodging in Hawaii), you decide to take the calculated risk and do the damn thing.\n\n\n\nThe water has been warm, and ranging between 70 and 80 each day, with a nice ocean breeze. We\u2019ve already seen whales breaching and playing, hung out on the beach, and just generally taken things easy. We have a list of things we want to do while here, but none should be particularly stressful. I was a little nervous about going (because pandemic, and related guilt about traveling during one), but being here has really driven home how much I needed this. I\u2019m not actually unwound yet, but it\u2019s kind of like when some background noise you\u2019ve been trying to tune out finally stops \u2014 it\u2019s only when you\u2019re removed from the stress that you realize how much you\u2019ve been storing in your body. I\u2019ll get there (knock wood).\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s been 18 years since I was last in Hawaii (last time was January, 2003). The last time I was here, I was 21 and engaged. It feels like a lifetime ago. I\u2019m a different person now, for better or worse; it\u2019s interesting how, while my experience is different, the place itself doesn\u2019t feel that different to me. The timelessness of paradise, I suppose.\n\n\n\nSomething that has struck me (maybe because I\u2019ve been thinking about such things lately) is how many people here are effectively acting like expats despite Hawaii being part of the same country \u2014 here as digital nomads, working remotely and riding out the pandemic. Between the cost of everything being notably different than the mainland, and the place really sort of having its own culture (both literally, as in the native Hawaiians, and more figuratively), it\u2019s sort of the \u201clite\u201d version of living in a different country. That\u2019s just my outsider\u2019s take, though \u2014 maybe the people actually living it would feel differently.",
