Show Notes for episode 12, The People Who Make Hawaii special for Mike May and friends. This story begins in the 70s with my first trip to Hawaii and includes the friends we met over the ensuing 45 years. We interview Brian and Jen Allen who moved to Hawaii 8 years ago and we just happened to meet through an Uber ride. We thank the many people we have met from the airline and hotel staff to the random people on the streets. I have lost track but have probably made 20 trips to Hawaii, most with my guide dogs. The episode photo shows Brian, Jen and Gena. Here is a link to a few more photos. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/bvpwcyyhohb9roo7qblzh/AJFljjWCO_cp8yL6Gw76kSA?rlkey=9fd3kjb0eki7bixiawilw8zz6&dl=0
