We are thinking of moving to the Big Island, the wet side, and are in research mode. Puna is the area we are most interested in. We hope to visit soon. I'm hoping that someone can answer some of our questions. Can anyone tell me where the nearest surfing spots are that break year-round? Are the prices of land and homes going up as quickly as realtors would have us believe (they have a tendancy to want to create a sense of urgency)? I've heard that there are buses to Hilo, but do they stop in Hawaiian Paradise Park, any of the other subdivisions, or do they just stop in town? Also, for my work I need some type of fast Internet connection (HSI or DSL). Is that available? Thanks very much. Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks!
