It is encouraging becasue it confirms that there are still corners of the Earth in the South Pacific were a tranquil, easy life style not in the shadow of the newest resort exist. I wonder if a happy medium could be available on an island like Molokai, or Kuai in the U.S. or on one of the other Cook or Fiji Islands. A balance between proximity to medical & other facilities, yet still enough isolation and idyllic paradise. Maybe also the time in one's life is before, or after, young children. The lament is that,by their own admission, they now are completely unaffected by their journey and are now very much living the same LA lifestyle they so desparately sought to leave. (The famed LA Band X became famous for a song about that very issue.)
