A move to Hawaii?

I've spent so many years dreaming of moving to Hawaii... I've never been there, but I've wanted to get up and move there for almost thirty years now.

I've lived in San Diego for 43 years... it's that chunk of mainland paradise that the rest of the country seems to want to flock to. People in the Snow and Rust Belt slave at some stinking job for 50 weeks out of the year, just so they can come and visit San Diego for two weeks. So where do San Diegan's go? Silly me... I married a wonderful woman from Ohio, and we spend two weeks a year in Cleveland. She calls it a Vacation... I call it a wholely unwarrented, yet regretably unavoidable indepth tour of the polish and czechoslovakian communities in the heart of America's Rust Belt.

Well dammit... I've had it! I stay home, and send my wife most of the time. I'd rather stay home than go to some stupid flat hunk of landscape, under a grey sky some idiots call blue. I tell my wife that I'm not going to Cleveland again till we go to Hawaii... still, she drags me there kicking and screaming the whole way about once every couple of years. I stay for a week or less, and tell people I've got to get home, because earthquake season starts in a couple of days, and I don't want to miss one day of it!

I can't take it any more.... I started selling off posessions back in February, trying to get rid of as much stuff as possible, so that we can move to Hawaii and not have a bunch of crap to haul with us. I wanted to have our house sold by July, and move, but my wife no longer thinks it is such a good idea. She thinks we should have jobs there before we move.... yeah right... like we are going to get job offers in the mail or something.... She talks to friends who say we won't like it... people say we will be haoli's there, and our life will be miserable... I say, I'd rather be a haoli in paradise, than howled at by my neighbors nine stinking dogs here in hell....

Everyone my wife talks to says they know someone who knew someone who thought they heard about someone who moved to Hawaii and couldn't get a job because they were Haoli's in paradise. I say that's a bunch of crap... I'm a pilot, and my wife is a CPA... if we arrived in hawaii with nothing more than a couple of suitcases, and around four hundred thousand dollars in our pockets, would we leave the islands a year later, bitter... jobless... and broke? Or would we be able to afford a nice house up country, find jobs with no problem, and live happily ever after? What if we tried to buy a house on the ocean?

Even better still.... if we moved to Hawaii, would my nagging old mother in law stay the heck in Cleveland, and leave us alone? Last summer they came to visit us for a week... we went on a drive up north to visit Hearst Castle... her fingernails were gripping the car seats the whole while, as she complained that the coast highway had too many twists and turns, and went up and down too much... I made reservations at an ocean front hotel... she complained that we were wasting money on an ocean view.... Would I be a Haoli in paradise, who never ever had to see his naggy mother in law again, because she was afraid of the roads, and that god awfull ocean view from our guest room window?

Huh?
