Aloha from Hawai'i!
Aloha to all from sunny Hawai'i!
I have been a "lurking" member for awhile and finally decided to do my first posting and
introduce myself.
I have been interested in royalty all my life, starting with Queen Victoria, and the Romanovs -- interests that I continue to this day (especially the Romanovs!)
Oh yes, I am also very interested in and study - the Hawaiian Monarchy - I have studied them and even lectured at our local museum -- my favorite and much loved is Princess Victoria Ka'iulani Cleghorn, who died at the very young age of 23 and who was heir apparent to the (illegally overthrown in 1893) throne.
I am only 3 years older than the late POW and I loved her very much, as so many, many others did. I followed her story from here in the USA and I still mourn her passing. It is still very hard to accept that she is gone from us and she will always be my personal "Queen of Hearts", as I know she is to so many others.
I live on an island called Kaua'i, one of the smaller neighbor islands in the Hawaiian island chain -- it is very lovely here as you can imagine and I have lived here now for about 10 years -- I haven't been back to the "mainland" in about 7 years and don't miss it at all!
I would however love to visit England someday -- the only place I've really traveled to is Tahiti, which I loved.
Well, I'm sure this is very boring, but I thought I'd put something down instead of just lurking around all the time -- I'll try to find something interesting to post!
Mahalo for reading my post!
