I was so happy to read the blogs on your website.
My wife and I are considerably middle age (38&34) and been planning the big move to Hawaii. Naalehue in particular.
I own my own business here but, graduated and worked for years in the hospitality field. My wife is a general dentist.
It started with us visiting during a time share stay with Whyndham resorts. We visited Hawaii about 8 times over 7 years. Yes we visited twice in 1 year!!
We made so many friends since we are regular visitors now.
We don't have kids but, we plan on so.
So here are top concerns
- finding good paying Job opportunity.
- church
- health care in general.
I know from reading your blog that you invest in rental vacation properties. Maybe you can feel me up about this.
It will be great to stay connected with someone experienced like you. I hope you guys have a great holiday season.
May The Lord bring happiness and peace to all your family.

Aloha Bahaa,
Sounds like you have been bitten by the Hawaii bug also. It's a great place to live.
When my wife and I moved, we had our own business so it made the transition much easier. Your wife shouldn't have a problem finding work as a dentist. If you need to find work, your experience in the hospitality field will benefit you.
Plenty of churches to choose from so I'm sure you'll find one you like.
There has been a shortage of general care doctors, at least in the Hilo area. It may be difficult to find a primary care physician. Hilo has a good hospital, and anything they can't handle, you can go to Honolulu for treatment.
Have fun with the move!
