Aloha Robin,
I realize now that you can not go just by what a couple of people might have to say. The research must really be done and it must be done in depth. I am following not only the advice of all you lovely, intelligent and extremely open minded people but also my heart and instincts. I will ofcores check out the neighborhoods but my move is definitely going to be to the Hilo, Puna, and Volcano side of the island like I originally wanted. I will be there at the end of this month with my family for a visit and will try and make the best of my researching days. Maybe someday I can have some of you over for dinner in my new home in Hawaii! I give great casual and fun get together, full of laughter and amazing conversation. I am a great cook if I do say so myself. :-)
Thank you all so much for all your insight. It has been amazing and eye-opening. Believe it or not I feel here what I felt in Hawaii when I visited several years ago. It is a different type of warmth. Real warmth. The kind that comes with assertiveness when speaking your mind but with no intent to judge of misguide, just speaking the truth. I believe that is what being real is all about and I can not wait to be surrounded and emerged in a culture that values those qualities. It’s what life is all about.
Last question Promise! How is the flooding situation on that side of the island? My husband’s friend was there for several weeks in February working and he said it rained the entire time he was there. He said the flooding was incredible and that the sewers and cesspools were overflowing? Is it a common problem? Where can I buy to avoid that if it is even possible? Also what is your view on buying vs. building? I am an advocate for conserving land, but would also like to do what makes the most sense to my family and I, when it comes to the comfort and financial aspects.
