Introduce yourself

Aloha, People of PunaWeb,

I have been lurking for a few weeks, mostly absorbing all the information you have posted regarding plants, mosquitos, mold, surfing, tree-trimming, politics as well as more current updates (such as high surf forecasts, etc) and active topics. This has been one of the most useful forums I have ever come across, and for that I say Mahalo!

My name is Allison and I live near Pahoa. My boyfriend and I moved to the Big Island from Denver a year ago and ended up renting a beautiful Ohana in HOVE for almost a year. During that time we explored the entire island as much as possible and ended up settling on the Puna district as a place we both loved and could afford.

We purchased a home here and moved in with our two dogs near the beginning of October. While we learned a much about living in Hawaii during our time in Ocean View, the learning curve has only just begun and we've been absorbing as much knowledge as possible from books, people and our own experiments/experiences.

I look forward to becoming an active part of this forum and again, thank you for all the information you have already provided to this newbie. Going forward I will stop lurking and become and active (and non-troll) member.

Cheers,
Allison
