[nagdu] Hawaii was a couple questions

[Cindy Ray]

Well, shoot, that's discrimination. I ought to be able to go there if I want 
to. Julie, maybe we ought to become citizens till we can get our dogs. 
Actually, I'd love going to New Zealand, and I'm kidding about the 
discrimination. I really do quite understand, and things are far better than 
they once were.

Okay I checked out the Eye of the Pacific program.  Bad news, it's only
available to Hawaii residents.  So I guess I won't be going after all.
*smile*

It's also a kind of unique arrangement.  Students go to either New Zealand
or Australia for the first 3 weeks of training.  then the fourth week is
done like home training in Hawaii.
