I want to move from ohio to hawaii. any suggestions? comments? or advice on how to ocomplish this?

This is my standard answer that I give. There are good things about living in Hawaii and there are some not so good thing about living in in Hawaii.





Hawaii is expensive. Ninety percent of everything is shipped in this is the main reason it cost more. Gas prices are coming down it is in the nigh three dollar range.





Hawaii is just as safe as anywhere else maybe safer. We have everything the mainland has except for a few restaurants and stores. The water that surrounds us does not make much of a difference.





No Daylight Savings Time we never move out clock forward or back.





We have an excellent bus system on Oahu. If you are willing to take the time then it will cut down on gas costs. You can have car but you might want to take the bus most of the time and use a car only when really needed.





Hawaii is one of most culturally diverse place in America. We have several cultures here. Hawaiians being the most obvious. We also have a diverse Asian population; Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese (sp?). All these culture differ. And it is best if you learn the differences.





If you love food Hawaii is one of the best places to be. Due to our many cultures we have many different kinds of food. Try them all.


Since we have many different cultures in Hawaii there are many set of ';rules'; all of them slightly different. Make an effort to learn. When you make an effort to learn the the differences then you will be accepted.





There is racism in Hawaii, racism is everywhere. Some of the racism is aimed at Whites. Racism at White is not all that common so you will get Whites saying that all Locals and or Hawaiian are racist. That is not true. The Locals and Hawaiians who are racist toward Whites tend to be racist against other cultures. Racism is not right. But it does exist.





Not everybody who lives in Hawaii is Hawaiian. To be Hawaiian to must have Hawaiian blood. Or be of Hawaiian ancestry. If you are like me and have lived in Hawaii all their life but have no Hawaiian blood you are considered a Local.





We also have a dialect of Pidgin Creole English. Or it is called Pidgin for short. This language was created during the plantation days. We had workers from all over Asia and the Pacific they all spoke different languages and the needed a way to communicate. So a new language grew and was created.There a some who hear Pidgin an the equate it with lack of intelligence. Do not do this!





Then there is what can be called ';Rock Fever'; some people tend to feel trapped because they can't drive anywhere else but Hawaii. There is no way you can drive into another state.





If you need to fly home to the Mainland then 1) take more time because you have to fly over an ocean first. 2) Will cost more because you have to flyI want to move from ohio to hawaii. any suggestions? comments? or advice on how to ocomplish this?
We recently purchased a Winter home on the Big Isle. I recommend becoming a member and reading a lot of the post from this site. It is wonderful and has answered a lot of the questions and concerns I had about all of the islands and/or specific ones areas, housing, cost etc.. There is a wealth of information from locals and non-locals about anything you ever wanted to know about the Islands. Moving or visiting.

You should do the following first (if you haven't done so):


1) Visit the island of your choice (or if you don't know yet, plan at least a two week vacation to island hop and spend enough time on each island)


2) Once you get back home you'll have time to reflect and REALLY confirm if you want to live here or not
well first off - go to school and get a career before you head over here. i assume u didnt do much schooling considering the way you spelled accomplish. Especially since yahoo answers has a spell checker.
