aloha all,
kspeed, have you folks been to Hawai'i, the Big Island, or Puna? as Carey stated, moving "sight-unseen," can be done, but be ready for some culture shock. Hawai'i is definitely not the mainland, and depending upon the type of people you are, it could be easy or rough. the rain is abundant, but it also makes everything lush and beautiful. to live in Hawai'i, is to live with bugs. coming from the northeast, i'm sure your used to mosquitos, but you'll always be aware of da bugs! (if you don't know, don't kill the geckos, they'll kill the bugs!) the moto riding might be tricky, due to the likelihood of rain, but you'll adapt.
guess it depends on where your husband is leaving from and moto'ing to. good luck with your move, go slow and smile, you're in Hawai'i!
aloha,
holahan
