Moving this Year-Hilo Vs. Kona

[mella l]

Aloha Lenny,

Just a few book suggestions that we used in making our decision of where to live 2 1/2 years ago. So You Want To Live In Hawaii author Toni Polancy

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0966625307/104-3839909-1619141?v=glance&n=283155

This site you can look at the table of contents of the book and see if it is something that might be helpful to you. Also two others you can find on amazon also

Affordable Paradise author H. Skip Thomsen

and

Hawaii The Big Island Revealed author Andrew Doughty/Harriett Friedman

We also had a Ready Map Book of the east side denoting all the subdivisions. We highly suggest this map and it can be found on line at www.GeckoFarms.com
or you can find it at Borders Books in Hilo and or Basically Books on the Bay front in Hilo which is a wonderful local resource of all things local, like the night skys, maps ect. It is located at 160 Kamehameha Av and a fun shop! www.basicallybooks.com

Good luck with your search.

From your responses here I think you can hear a resounding old addage that it is How you live not where you live that is the essence of life. That being said we have choosen the east side for the precise essence of spirit of all the people we have met and come to know who live on the east side.

Aloha, Mella L
PS Just one word of caution that the prices in these books are more than likely out of date so web sites of property searches would be most current for that aspect of your searching.
