My wife and I live in New England. We are in our mid-30's, have no kids and work in the health care.
I have an opportunity to take a postion in Kona. We've been to Maui, but never to the Big Island. My wife and I are very "outdoorsy", fairly liberal people; we love to hike, camp, run and I'm into landscape photograhy. We are tired of the New England winters and are looking for somewhere we can enjoy outdoor activites all year long. We have a decent amount of money saved up. Any thoughts/advice? |

Prob. best to visit the island before making a leap. It can only help in your decision

Yes but from my experience Maui seemed quite flat, the big island is very very hilly everywhere you go really. So there are differences as such.

I love hills/mountains; that's what I'm looking for. I lived in FL for a while and I hated the "flatness"; I missed the hills/mountains more than anything.

Cons: cost of living, second world government, vog, island fever, public schools
Pros: ethnic tolerance (excluding the Hawaiian seperatists), Hawaiian Regional Cuisine, lots of charitable organizations to join, year round golf, tennis, and outrigger canoe paddling |
