Thanks Kathy[
] I have been researching the Big Island for about 3 years and I just now found this web site. So I am really happy that I can talk to people who have done the same thing and can let me know what to look for. My friends live just North of Hilo and have a much different life style then I am looking for, so its kinda hard to ask them questions. I am looking for something safe as I have 3 kids, but I plan on homeschooling so schools don't matter that much. As for a job, I am now a student midwife and we will be moving as soon as I am done with my schooling. So I hope to be working for myself. I am very concerned about the lava issue, but like you said people are buying land anywhere so I can't let that confuse me.
