Moving from Kansas to Hilo would be about as equivalent as moving from Shanghai to Patagonia. There's no common point of reference. I won't be the only one to tell you to do a whole lot more research and visiting before taking the plunge. The fact you can homeschool is a plus and the yonger your kids probably the better. It's an amazing place to live if it suits you, but it doesn't suit everyone.
