1) The person to whom you refer is not a promoter. Not Hawaiian. A shareholder and investor. So, wrong on both details. 2) Seymour is too busy this year for a Hawaii trip. 3) Hawaii is no more exotic or costly than any other popular tourist area in the US.
Isn't this the time of year Seymour takes his fat annual underserved bonus and heads over to the tropics and meets up with the Hawaiian promoter?
