having moved to Hawaii in 2000. here's our story. Moved to Oahu one of us had a job lined up (although hadn't fiqured in hawaii state taxes off our paycheck)personally Oahu sucked just like any big city so moved to the big island in 2001. prices for land and houses much cheaper than Oahu but the jobs don't have great pay. construction work on the big island is booming at the moment and you would get good money there.
Hawaii real estate market is in an upswing at the moment i.e. 1 acre of land in our area you could buy for $1000.00 - $5000.00 is selling for $20,000- $40,000 and more(at least it's listed at that!)
I think if you feel like moving to Hawaii go for it!!! The worst that could happen is you will end up back where you started. Life in Hawaii is expensive food, gas rent etc. We had planned only to live on Oahu temporarily and had arrange our vehicles to arrive on Oahu and rented accomodation normally 1 yr lease. we have found Hawaiian express to have good rates for shipping items to hawaii they are based in Ca.
have you heard how great the scottish hospitality is? Well the people of Hawaii I've met have had the same attitude and made me feel more at home but with better weather.
