Living in Kauai
After going to Kauai for the last two years, Suzanne and I were wondering what a dream existence would be like on Kauai. Would it be possible for a couple of mainlanders two make the transition?
Well, some weeks ago we discovered the Great Hikes blog which originates from Kauai. The author is a former mainlander who has made that transition. So I decided to write to him to get his story.
Imagine my surprise as he replied publicly on his blog. It was a great and insightful post, but it more or less burst the balloon. It turns out that there are a lot of issues…and not all of them have to do with money as you might expect.
All that said, the blog is worth adding to your list if you like to see the occasional tropical picture. He has started to post lots of pictures and its wonderful to sit in the office and have a portal to Kauai.
On a related note, we go again in mid-May. We’re not very original with our travels, it seems, but I don’t feel terribly guilty about it.
