Hi April, thanks for this elaboration of what we mean by ho'okipa. I too love to start exploring new ideas by looking into the definition of the word. There's nearly always some great clues hiding away in those dictionaries...

You make such good points here April, with terrific yet simple examples that drive them home. People often fool themselves into thinking they have done enough with a warm and gracious welcome, but hospitality doesn't stop there, it continues throughout the time we spend together, and doing it right once doesn't buy you future reprieves!

Joanna - glad to know I am not the only one with a weakness for the dictionary! I have used it more than once to overcome writer's block.
Rosa - I agree, and I have learned by watching others that it is a bad practice. A great welcome with no follow through comes across as insincere.
