Aloha,
I have been reading the Punaweb for several months and decided that it is way past time to introduce myself. My husband and I live in Gunnison, CO. Gunnison is one of the most beautiful places to live in the Summer. It is in the middle of the Rocky Mountains and summer high temps are somewhere around 75 degrees. Winters are another story. It is still beautiful but one of the coldest spots in the nation. For instance, today we had a low of minus 30 degrees farenheit. The average temperature from December 12 thru January 12 was negative 15 degrees. I know, because that was the billing cycle for my electric bill which put me into shock. (I also work for the local rural electric company. No...unfortunately there are no employee discounts for electricity.)
My husband and I have had the priviledge of visiting Hawaii five times with the most recent visit to Puna this last March. We absolutely fell in love with the area. We have had many serious conversations about relocating to Puna. We certainly respect the native Hawaiian culture and who knows, maybe some day our dream of living in Hawaii will become a reality. We are currently busy helping our three sons (ages 19, 20 & 22) transition into adulthood. Whew, what a job that can be!
Anyway...I enjoy your forum and just wanted to say hi.
