So much good luck to you. I love PDX as an airport, so easy, nice to fly out of. The Big Island is an adventure for sure, I know it well. You will be happy with this adventure,

and I meant to add if you have any questions about parts of the Kona side, Volcano, or even Hilo, (i just lived there for a year and my bro has been there for over ten) just ask. I my experience stick with Verizon.

That's nice of you to offer, and there are also quite a number of folks here who have lived on the Big Island for a long time, and folks who have been posting here for years.

Posting questions here where anyone can answer them is how it works, and that way different people with different views can all contribute, and then people who come along later can share in the same info.

Matter of fact, the Search function here is like Magic Access to the Gold Mines here, and though it may seem counterintuitive, many times it can be the fastest way to tap into the collective view on things. That's why it is recommended to newcomers as the best place to start.

Aloha, and good luck!

E como mai, J.T. It's a nice hop over from Phoenix, too, not one of those terribly long flights from the East Coast. Did you get a direct flight? What has been the most surprising thing for you so far? What's been your favorite?
