Aloha Kathy. My husband and I bought land in Glenwood (between Mt View and Volcano) on the mountain outside Hilo. We too left San Diego. Not only are prices insane but so are the crowds. No room to breathe there! People are behaving like overcrowded rats in a cage....
I am a nurse but don't work. Hubby is a teacher and will be continuing to work in California for two years before he retires. My job is to get a home built so I travel between Calif and Hawaii.
Know that the commute in from HPP is wicked in the mornings. About 8000 households, most of whom have to make it into Hilo.
I know you will be needed here. Just be patient and the right position will find you. It could take a little time but things here tend to settle where they belong.
Schools here are really different so ask lots of questions. It will be a great adventure. Good luck to you all.

May you live in interesting times.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
