Rural (which is pretty much almost everything other than Honolulu) Hawai`i is still very much oriented to "plantation time." Things shut down early (by mainland urban standards) but things are moving waaaaay early in the morning. (I once had someone -- a retired sugar plantation worker who was in the fields no later than 6am each day -- call me at 6:30 a.m. and said "I knew you like to sleep late, so I waited to call you.")
