LAWEEKLY(.com) has an interesting article about a couple with two young children who decided to relocate to Rangaroa, Easter Island to live for a year.

I am cheering for them because they have actually exchanged the dream of living on a tropical island (or atleast subtropical), being able to watch the sunset every night and working on the beach in exchange for the "work all day just to be able to afford the car payment and an occasional dinner out" lifestyle. I, too, would much rather spend my time researching tiki history and catching the sunset over the water than sweating it out in the office.

The article discusses their disappointment that the island at first wasn't as much as a tropical dream as they had hoped, although the article had a happy ending with their ability to walk to the beach.

Noticeably absent was any reference to the large moai by the airport or the ability to traipse amongst the moai any day of the week (a life's dream for some tiki fans or at least myself).

The couple's occupation is that they are both freelance writers, so there should be regular updates (or maybe they actually will start the production of the Easter Island reality show previously discussed on this board).

(Sorry I'm not computer-literate enough to post the direct hyperlink).
