Hello. i have been doing searches through out the threads since yesterday reading all the lovely information that i need but, I am still have questions.
I have 2 small children under 3 and one on the way due in november. I am very interested in moving to the islands and have been for sometime.
My husband has an opportunity to work on Oahu in Waikiki and we totally want to take this opportunity and just go for it.
My family moved to Maui in 1997 and I have always loved it on Maui.I would move to maui in a heartbeat but, the job is on Oahu.
I have only stopped over in Oahu in the airport and never had the chance to see what Oahu is like. So i have no idea what to expect on Oahu.
Is there a huge difference between Maui and Oahu?
What town best suits a family that is near Waikiki that is not over priced and tiny?
His job would be in downtown Waikiki and the only thing i have heard bad through the grapevine about Oahu is traffic. We want to live somewhere close to his work but, not where we are going to pay $3000 a month for a one bedroom apartment.
We would love to find a great condo type home/townhouse under $2000 a month, in a great neighborhood near a beach.
I also would love to be around a town that has alot of things for children to get involved with. art classes,Hula dancing classes, local pool, beach close by,parks etc.
I love having opinions from many people which can give me a better understanding and help me to find the best place possible on the island for me and my family to move. I can search the internet but, the internet will not give me first hand experiances and great advice like i feel this site can.
I would appreciate any imput given to me.
