As a baby boomer I would like to mention, that I am unique among my friends when it comes to relocating to Hawaii as I have a very small family base. Very few of my friends, boomers with $'s in their pockets would consider relocating to Hawaii full time.
They like to visit, however with the 2 hour up front airport delays these days, added to the long flights, age is starting to catch up with them so shorter trips are on their horizons like Mexico, Cabo, Costa Rica, or the Bahamas and Bermuda are destinations of choice now.
As for relocating to Hawaii, the majority of my friends have such large extended families, children and new grandchildren being born, they do not want to leave the mainland, and distance themselves from these benefits of family life.
It is interesting to me that the number of observations of this thread have exceeded 10,000. More than any other thread. To bad this type of interest isn't there for other topics that would perhaps be beneficial to Hawaii. Must be mainland speculators, media trolls and marketeers, combing the web for instant insight! LOL Aloha, Mella
