I guess the obligatory question is:
WHY would you ever want to leave Hawaii for the states? :B
I can think of many reasons why I would want to leave Hawaii for the continental US. The first being to see a lot more diverse scenery.
Yes, Hawaii is a beautiful state...but I think after a few years I would get tired of the 'island lifestyle'.
Thank you for your replies.
Yes Oahu Hawaii has been my home,(and is nice to live) going on 28 years with 2-1/2 Everett Washington in the Navy. Originally born in Renton Washington where we always went camping all the time in the Cascades Mountains.
You do get tired of all the Island life style, traffic Congestion all the time, not counting the accidents then it is compounded. The price of gas is $4.25 a gallon of un-leaded gas, Diesel is pushing $5.00.
To go anywhere off Island and to the other Islands it is a plane trip of course. I cannot remember the last time i went to Waikiki beach after being here a while. All of the State parks close at sunset, so no over night camping. Due to the homeless that used to live there. So the State way of fixing the problem was to shut down the parks at sunset, and run off the homeless.
So yes to conclude this long winded answer is Hawaii is a Beautiful state to live in, you can't beat the weather. It is just starting to get too confining for myself and family (Wife). Its just time to go and do things like RVing, and travel slowly not in a hurry, while we are still young enough to do it.
So the planning continues.
Thank you all for the replies and will be contiune to ask all of you questions to go Full Time in a few years.
