Wow! You have all given me a LOT to think about! Thank you very much for all of your honesty. My husband, daughter and I really really appreciate it. May I pick your brain some more? I'll set these questions up as a new post as well.
Yes schools all over in general look pretty dire... my husband is a huge advocate of sending our daughter to private school... I myself am hoping to teach in public school or charter in about three years. I will be finishing my education in Spokane so we are talking about a very slow transition... to paradise ?
I suppose everything we read was from developers so I am so glad to have the feedback from the actual community. After learning so much we have ruled out the Fern Forest and Eden Roc areas. They don't sound as much like Paradise as we thought... yeah it's a lot of land but your right, about there being a reason why.
What about the Nanawale Estates area? Can I get some good honest feedback about that community. I read their hoa page and really liked what I saw.
My hope is that we can hold onto the land now, work towards getting jobs down there and be able to have a slower more tropical way of life eventually (3-5 years).
We have heard that the community is open to every kind of person which we like... no class distinctions and a real melting pot of America...?
As for our daughters education, we'll both be quite a part of that... and wherever I end up teaching I hope to be a part of the solution in America's schools.
Okay I'll wait for your feedback! Again thank you SO much! Aloha! -
Also I totally agree with all of you - we need to come down and stay - but this is much easier said than done, as plane tix to the island are around $900/each... and we don't have vacation time and we do have a baby to think about... you remember the grind!
