Aloha Everyone,
My name is Lenny and I live in New Jersey. I have lived here all of my life. (well since I was 2) I got married in 2001 and visited Hawaii on my honeymoon. I was there for 11 days and I island hopped. I went to Maui, Hawaii and Oahu. I loved Maui and Hawaii the best. We really fell in love with the island and Hawaii turned into an obsession for me. I have insisted on moving there since we stepped foot on the island but I my husband felt we needed to plan, and plan, and plan for the move. We had a set of twins in 2002 and there went the plans. But my obsession never seized. I felt a calling of sorts from the island. Really (i am not crazy, delusional, or schizophrenic) it really does call me! I see Hawaii in everything and long for the quality of life it has to offer.
We decided to settle for "FLORIDA" (of all places) as a compromise. I COULD NOT DO IT. I JUST COULD NOT DO IT. I decided if it was not Hawaii I would rather be miserable in New Jersey. Recently I told him if he was too cautious to move to Hawaii I would just leave without him. Not as an ultimatum but because it was really time for me to move on and be complete and mostly because I wanted to offer my children as well as myself a better and more down to earth lifestyle that was as far away from east coast city life as possible. Now we have come to an agreement and I have come up with a sensible way to do it. (Sensible means safe for him) I realized that he wanted go as much as I did but was afraid of doing it without a well hatched out plan for survival. Anyway, we put the house up for sale last week and as soon as we get a buyer we are on our way. Hopefully if we get a buyer before the summer ends I will be there by September or November the latest. I will be renting with my children for a while as I get us settled down. My husband will be staying here and keeping his job. He will follow as soon as I have a job and the kids are in school. We are debating between buying or building and that final decision will be made ones we are there. We are taking a trip at the end of this month to do the research for my rental place. I want to find a place close to all the areas I want to research when buying and ofcorse close to work. I am extremely excited and I am sure things will work out. There is lots of great positive energy flowing in these forums and most of all an amazing amount of information. I am happy to meet you all and I look forward to speaking with you in the future. Maybe we’ll be neighbors someday and I can have you over for dinner or a BBQ! Lovely meeting you all.
Mahalo,
Lenny
