Living in Hawaii vs. Visiting Hawaii

I would like to hear from people who lived in Hawaii after growing up
on the mainland. I think I would go crazy living in Hawaii because of
the heat. I love visiting there but after 5 days I start going nuts.

Have people liked living there a lot less than they expected? What
problems are there compared with the mainland?

I hope this isn't a rude question, but why have
you started several threads recently and then
never revisited them to thank the people replying
for their answers/suggestions?

Well picked up Marsha.

A troll, but at least he's a reasonably subtle and
non-aggressive one. Probably a little competition going on
to see who gets the highest number of answers to each post.

Harmless, yes. Sometimes it's good to start a
discussion to get folks debating and such, but
it's only proper to add your own thoughts as well.

Troll or not, I'd definitely like to hear any honest replies.

I spent a month in Hawaii one July while there was a heat wave going
on in New Jersey, and it was paradise compared to Princeton.

I think I would begin to be bothered by the time and expense involved
in getting anywhere else. As a matter of fact, one long-time resident
told me that was what bothered her most.

My email address is my first initial followed by my last name at libero dot it.

I was born in Hong Kong, raised in Hawaii (Oahu) from 1.5yrs till 18
(mom is still there), and now living in San Jose, CA. I know it's the
reverse, but do I count?

IMHO, I think it depends on the person's attitude and ability to become
acclimated to an area. People will complain about the dry heat, wet
heat, dry cold, or wet cold, but for the most part are drawn to a
particular region because they grew up there, the lower living costs, a
job, or they just want to begin a new life. There are many more
reasons, but the list is too long.

For me, I never thought I could ever leave Hawaii, but then some would
never leave the dry heat of Phoenix or the shoveling of snow in
Wisconsin.

Going back to the question. Can I go back to Hawaii after living in
the San Francisco Bay Area for 15+ years. Absolutely! I would whine
about losing the choice of driving to my vacation destinations, but I'm
a type of person that makes the best of wherever I live or travel to.
Some people are not so fortunate.

The heat? It regurarly hits 120 degrees in Southern California, Arizona and
Nevada and rarely hits 90 degrees in Hawaii? You are invited to visit my

He is what is called a "troll" whose only purpose is to get responses. You
respond, he wins. He's trolling for replies and could care less about their
contents. KM
