It's hella cold here in Calfornia. Any remedy for a relative visiting from the warm Pacific?
I can go back home, but not until January 2nd.

Poor baby! I can appreciate the dilemna -- you're freezing, but then again, with the price of heating oil these days, you can't really ask them to hike up the heat.
Here are some suggestions:
Buy an electric blanket, and snuggle with it in the living room or the bedroom, then give it to them as a gift when you go back to Hawaii.
Find a cute blanket that will double as a shawl, and again, give it to your hostess when you leave.
I'm not sure if you can find these in California, but you can get little chemical packs that warm up when you rub them. Put them in your hoodie pocket, and it will warm up your belly, and your hands when you put them in the pocket.
Ask to borrow some sweaters/jackets. They'll laugh, but at least you won't be crying! Borrow extra blankets for the bed.
Get a fabric bag and some rice or beans (uncooked). Put them in the fabric bag, and microwave it for about 5 minutes. They will retain heat for a long time, and it'll be a great warmer-up -- especially at bed time.
Exercise.
Drink hot liquids. Spicy stuff might be helpful too. Chili is one of the best warmer-uppers I know.
Hope that helps!

I moved from Hawaii to Oregon in the fall...I thought I was going to freeze to death...literally. Then the winter came and I could feel my insides shaking from the cold anytime I had to leave the house. So I feel your pain! :-) I got through it by wearing lots of warm clothes, hot baths before bed, heater blankets, electric heaters, and warm beverages or foods. At least you get to go back to the warm in a few days...I'm still in Oregon 10 years later. But eventually I became acclimatized to the weather here and now I get really hot when the temp creeps up to the 70's. LOL. And I went back to Hawaii to visit and it was SO hot! But i still love it and miss it. Good luck and much aloha to ya. :-)

I live on Oahu and i just came back from a trip from Anaheim and i was freezing up there. I literally wore two socks, two pants, three shirts, two jackets and gloves and i was still really cold. I found relief in our hotel room (heater). Also one of the liquor stores up there had cup noodles, so that helped alot. Cali was cold and most importantly did not have white rice!!! Well have fun up there.
