For me personally, it was when I was in my teens and I started noticing how often gun control supporters held up countries like England as examples for the US to follow in terms of gun policy.
There are two airports on the Big Island of Hawaii; namely Hilo International Airport located on the east side of the Big Island and Kona International Airport t which can be found on the west side.
If flying directly into one of the Big Island Hawaii airports is what you have in mind, you can either take the Oakland-to-Hilo flight, or you can look into the more abundant options for Kona. The Kona Airport receives direct flights from the US mainland, Canada, and Japan.
