Aloha
I am Lew my wife is Sue. We live in Portland, Oregon. I am retiring in April, after many year working for state agencies. I am going to be on the Island in April, to see if I can buy a house. My wife is not ready to retire and does not want to close her insurance agency here yet, so we will have a place here also for the time being. I think the Puna rain is more tolerable than the steady, cold Portland rain. Is it true that most of the Puna rain comes down very heavy, then quits and the sun comes out, that was what I noticed when I was there in December, but I don't know if it always so. I don't think Puna has heavy VOG like Kona either, so that and the expensive Kona real estate, makes Puna look quite qood. I liked reading the, 3rd edition of Affordable Paradise, his comments about "living aloha", were well taken.
You have a great, informative site.
