It costs about $2,000 to fly between the mainland and Hawaii round trip. It cost hundreds to fly between the islands.
I saw quite a few old White guys on the big island last year. They ran away to the islands now they can't afford to leave. They have rock fever meaning Hawaii even if it is the big island doesn't have a lot of room.
