Big Island Travel Guides and Books
Affordable Paradise: the Secrets of an Affordable Life in Hawaii
If you are thinking of moving to Hawaii you must buy this book. The bulk of this book is about the Big Island, because the Big Island is one of the most affordable island choices -- but it has a lot of useful information about moving to Hawaii in general, and the information is laid out for you - the average person who dreams of living in paradise. The author speaks to you as a person, and it is obvious in his words that he is just like you. |

This book starts out showcasing the realities of Hawaii - Hawaii is different from the mainland, and if you read these pages you will know exactly how. This section discusses attitudes here, ways of living here, if your kids will get picked on in school here, crime here, -- and most important, lays out for you what will probably be the hardest parts about living in Hawaii. The book outlines information about homes and land unique to Hawaii, and then takes you on a whirlwind tour of the Big Island, explaining the quirks and environments of each area and many subdivisions. You'll then learn the ins and outs of actually moving to Hawaii - what you should bring, what won't last long here, and how you can get your stuff over. Finally, the subject of how you can make your living and stretch your dollar is addressed. Retired? There is a section for you too.
I moved here from the mainland, and I can tell you from experience - this book is right on.
