+ATMS Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Aloha fellow cachers! My family is relocating to Hawaii (Kailua Kona)! My husband heads out October 16th, my son and I will come out end of December! Any thoughts? Advice? ATMS Andy, Tricia & Michael Quote Link to comment
+Green Achers Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Take us with you. [Just my first thought.] Quote Link to comment
+sillygirl & jrr Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Aloha! First buy this book: "So You Want to Live in Hawaii" (it's available on Amazon if you can't find it locally). It has lots of good advice and explains much about how things work here, it is different. We moved to Oahu from Atlana, Ga a little over 2 years ago and are pretty well settled now, but it will take a bit of time to get adjusted. Even if visited often, otherwise there will be culture shock. (On Oahu regular gas is still $3.20/gallon). Since you are moving to the Big Island you'll be about 180 miles south of our home coordinates. There are not too many active cachers on the Big Island right now. But there are lots of great places for caches so you can place them for us to come find on our visits. Not many Hawaii cachers hang out on the national forums, our local forum is here: GPS Talk. Most of the active posters live on Oahu, but check it out. Edited September 16, 2006 by sillygirl & jrr Quote Link to comment
+ATMS Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Thanks for the information! We are so excited! I will definately take a look for that book right away! $3.20 a gallon! We are finally down to $2.14 here! DOH! ) I would love to keep in touch! We appreciate any ideas that you have for us! Please feel free to e-mail me directly!!! Our son is 13, so we are very anxious how he will take the move! I'll jump out to the the link you suggested and tell everyone hi! We did notice the lack of caches on the Big Island...I'll help take care of that! Mahalo! Tricia Quote Link to comment
+Wolf Grrl Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Just visited Kauai in June/July. If you get a chance to go there find "Spouting Horn" cache. It's beautiful there! I miss it already. Aloha, Kim aka Wolf Grrl Quote Link to comment
+Go JayBee Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I am planning an Event Cache in Kona on the 25th of November...please stop by. Quote Link to comment
+Go JayBee Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Wazzup wit dat? I cannot find any Event Caches in Hawaii...don't you folks eat Pizza? Quote Link to comment
+sillygirl & jrr Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) There's a CITO event on Oahu this weekend. GCXTXW As for Pizza, it's not very good for the most part. The sushi on the other hand... We'll just be getting back to Oahu on 11/25, so it's not likely we'd be able to make over to Kona. Edited September 21, 2006 by sillygirl & jrr Quote Link to comment
