I went to Hilo and stayed in Kona a while to check out both places. My wife made the choice and decided on Kona instead of Hilo. I am glad I listened to her. I love Kona and I love the active lifestyle here. Plus I can get a great house two blocks from the beach for under $400,000. Where else in Hawaii can you do that. <br /> bluemanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752958130527744394.post-70269212710509516012010-03-03T07:25:02.870-10:002010-03-03T07:25:02.870-10:00I have to say that I have been following your blog...I have to say that I have been following your blog with great interest as my husband and myself are making preparations to move to Hawaii from the midwest in a couple of years. <br /><br />Currently we are looking at the Hilo/Puna area as a landing spot, but your post makes me think that we ought to broaden our area of consideration to the western side of the island as well.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415335868936739123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752958130527744394.post-12097367058747774532010-03-03T06:58:48.842-10:002010-03-03T06:58:48.842-10:00hope you enjoy the west side and we see you again ...hope you enjoy the west side and we see you again soon. there are plans to have a few big island internet society meetings in kona or kohala area this year.larrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752958130527744394.post-49801131555722408352010-02-28T21:23:23.474-10:002010-02-28T21:23:23.474-10:00Welcome to the west side :) and feel free to keep ...Welcome to the west side :) and feel free to keep up with Kona issues on my blog.Aaron Stenehttp://thekonablog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
