So the foreclosure auction on the house is set for September 21st, and we have to be out a couple days before that. Chances are R and I will get an apartment in Tucson and save up until December. Then during winter break he said he would fly to Hawaii to start checking out prices, jobs, and where we would live. He is really adamant about this because he has always wanted to live there after experiencing it through multiple business trips. While I'm not too wild about leaving somewhere I've called home for 12 years, I think it might be nice.
So I ask those of you who know:
What's it like living there? He might have a job opportunity in Oahu....
What's the situation between the locals and non locals? Are they really unfriendly towards us NL, or are they pretty nice?
How are the schools there?
Anything else?

. yogibear is right its hella expensive! one "decent" apartment is atleast $1000 + here on maui it is anyways. n under $1000 n it makes it very difficult to live comfortably. its hard to find work, most people dont even make $1000 a month! its hella crowded, prices are going up cause everyone wants to move here, yes its a great thing sometimes but its said when the actual "hawaiians" cant afford to live here anymore n they have to live on beaches in tents or move to the mainland. its a tragedy its changed soooo much over the past 10 years its saddening. as far as schools go our education is decent i mean what can you really expect for being in the middle of nowhere?! haha.. if thats the case i highly recommed being in public school. private schools struggle education wise. i mean everywhere has its flawless dont let that scare you. its really beautiful here and if you find the right people it can be very enjoyable! its great the beaches are wonderful esp when you find the ones uncrowded! n yes alot of locals will take you in as there own child haha. its great n they will always be there n stick up for you when you need them. also being on maui its easier n more layed back but if you like the city n fastpaced life i highly recommend oahu cause it can get hella boring here. not to mention they have all the best events there! thats for my long winded post hope that helped a bit! good luck moving here n i hope you enjoy it as much as alot of people do!
I wanna go back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua, Hawai`i...
