I suppose I should give a bit of a personal history for the rest of this story to make sense. Here it is in brief - in 2017, I moved my family to Hawai'i.

I lived on Oahu for almost a decade and graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa with a degree in Anthropology back in 2008, then I left. That and my familiarity with Hawaiian history and culture enabled me to get a job as an archaeologist with a private company here. The pay was below what it takes to survive on Oahu - luckily we had a little bit saved from the sale of our business' in Oregon which tided us over until I found a job in my pre-university line of business - being a tour guide. So, I was a working archaeologist. It was pretty cool. Now...on to the Flashback...
