Buckle up, put your ipod earphones in, pull the brim of your Ainokea cap over your eyes and let the tears flow. This is a mix of songs for all the kama'aina--born and raised in Hawaii--making that depressing flight back to the U.S. mainland. Whether you're heading back to college or going "home," you'll appreciate the emotional hommage to the islands that are always in your heart.

We end on a positive note--the airplane meal is being served and it's time to blow your nose and move on. The whole point is that there is no other place that you'd rather be...but, you've gotta go. And they're serving teriyaki chicken, so put your tray table down!

I know some of these! But that's because my mother and grandparents hail from Oahu. I grew up with all sorts of weird Hawaiian sayings that I didn't realize were strange until I was about 10.

I'm with Delinquent -- I know nothing of these bands but love it, if only for the wonderful descriptions.
Nice debut mix, friend.

I am going to admit to knowing 0% of these artists. But your narrative gives you points, because I can tell this means something to you. Either that, or you are a really good liar.
