Top 5 Reasons I Could Live in Hawaii

Don’t panic! I’m not planning to move to Hawaii. However, my last visit here wasn’t the greatest, and I recorded a video depicting the reasons I’d never live there. This vacation has been so amazing in a short amount of time that I thought I’d record a video talking about how great it is, and how IF I were to ever move, I might consider living here.

  • The People and the Atmosphere – I had a very warm welcome when Traci had coordinated a Tweetup at Tiki’s Bar and Grill. The people who came were very open to sharing experiences, asking questions and even buying me drinks! A lot of people showed up, and everyone had a great time. Hawaii is populated with a very social-minded culture.
  • The Weather – Even though I don’t much like heat, I do like the consistency of the weather here in Hawaii. I love the rain and clouds and cool temps in Seattle. But it’s never easy to predict what the weather will do.
  • Really Good Food and Drinks – The food (and especially Sushi) on all of my trips has always been amazing, as well as the drinks. I think I’ve probably gained about five pounds, just in the first time. I really have to thank (again!) Bruce and the gang from Hawaii-Aloha for hooking me up with the people at the Sheraton hotel… because the first-ever Peet’s Coffee in Hawaii is right here in my hotel lobby!
  • Stargazing – I’m not an astronomer, but I do like looking up into the sky. The night sky here is as clear as a bell. There are so many things that exist in this world that we take advantage of… the things that Mother Nature provides us. I’ve been gifted with the ability to see. That sense sometimes is forgotten when my eyes aren’t open to the things that are around me. When the skies are clear in Seattle, they’re pretty. However, you just canno see as many stars as you do here in Hawaii.
  • Girls! – Every single woman in Hawaii is beautiful. I’m not kidding. They’re just gorgeous, and beautiful and strong. They don’t allow ugly people into the state, really! Ok ok… they let me in. But the women are A-OK!

I’m not saying whether I ever would or won’t live here. I’m just saying that it’s a wonderful place. Why would or wouldn’t you ever move to Hawaii?

I lived there for a year. Went there to surf for the most part and see a girlfriend who moved there. Coming from California the first thing I found was that it is a small area. Drive an hour and you are back where you started from. They call it rock fever so I came home. I’ve been back several times but I couldn’t live there. Nice place to visit though.

Were it not so expensive, I’d live there. But real estate is very expensive regardless of which Island. Then everything costs more because nearly everything must be shipped there and they haven’t found any 18 wheelers to cross the ocean. So things cost more, but salaries aren’t as high as the cost of living. It is less expensive to heat and cool than the mainland, but that’s about it.

There are a lot of good things that merit comment: The sense of Ohana (family) is very strong and the complete natural beauty is breathtaking. But keep in mind that the population is relatively low. I lived on Kauaii where the population was but 80k along with about 1M tourists. Get past the tourists and all is well.
