Wow. Upon my first peek at this thread there were no responses - then it's like Punaweb Superbowl.
You had to know that your inflammatory "observations" would cause one hot mess here. How could you not?
Whether or not I'm over 30, I am a member of this forum and can respond.
Reasons we moved to Hawaii and will continue to live here:
1. The weather is wonderful - we wanted rain coming from Arizona where it is very hot and not much rain.
2. Where we lived was sprawling very quickly, and the pace here is much slower - a welcome change.
3. The pollution was horrible (even with Vog, my mother's asthma is better here than in Arizona).
4. Look outside - it's gorgeous. Growing up in New York, I wanted some trees and green again.
5. We have more friends here than ever, many whom we consider extended family.
6. We wanted to experience the diversity that Hawaii has to offer. We learn something everyday about another culture.
7. We're learning that less is more because of our smaller home and the high cost of food and other items.
There are so many more reasons. We're not retired - and wont be for some time to come.
