Too much heat and humidity along the coast for me. <br /><br />What a great place, the Big Island, with such diversity of climates, people, and places of beauty. <br /><br />Since the first time I came here in 1971, until I moved here in 2002, I thought about how lucky are all the people who call this island their home.

Moved to the Puna side six years ago and wish that I did it twenty years ago.<br />Kona was great in the early seventys but has changed into little L.A. in the last ten years or so. I remember Kona whenit was a small village I thought that there just wasn't any other better place to live and I was right. Now I see Puna headed in that same direction, oh well we can't live forever anyway.<br /><br />The LackThe Lackhttp://Tom Lackey.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752958130527744394.post-51090509595690662892010-04-07T11:07:03.085-10:002010-04-07T11:07:03.085-10:00aloha ,

But it does feel way more like Southern California than Hawaii. <br />I have a feeling there is far more opportunities for a creative business on that side as well.

But this time we thought we would try the Kona side. After having lived on the Mainland for a little while, we were excited to see a new Target and Lowes in Kona. In addition to the convenience of Costco, we felt it would just make life a lot easier.<br /><br />It's also good to hear about the improvements being make in Kona Village!Karrie in Konanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752958130527744394.post-24146848949642413702010-03-25T08:04:57.055-10:002010-03-25T08:04:57.055-10:00the beauty of the big island is the diversity of o...the beauty of the big island is the diversity of options. we could never live in kona: not enough rain and too many people rushing around in a hurry (feels like san diego to us). which is why we are in hilo, plenty of rain and a much slower pace to life.larrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752958130527744394.post-79374023174292722882010-03-24T18:28:41.331-10:002010-03-24T18:28:41.331-10:00Yo Damon.

Your move comes as we also prepare to make out long anticipated move and now that we have decided to rent for a year or two we are torn between Hilo and Kona. We have found that there are many more rental options in Kona and we absolutely love Alii Drive. One motivation we have for thinking of Kona is also the active lifestyle and we love seeing joggers when there.
