Hello to all and thank you in advance for your kokua.
We've been traveling to Hawai'i for the last 3 years from the east coast of the mainland. We are currently here for the last 3 weeks on our 10th visit. We have fallen in love with Wai'anae and have found a house that we like as well.
We understand the "issues" with the Leeward side (don't get in a traffic-related fight, for one), and intend to be nice, calm, neighborly----like comes natural to us. I believe we are Hawai'ian in our souls so I don't think we come across as crazy haoles. I expect a few eyebrows to raise as we are not typical Leeward residents, but I am not sure there is a "typical resident" anyway---we haven't gotten any stink eye at all and I am not expecting to. And we don't need to commute or find jobs (lucky/hardworking us!)---in fact, we would like to teach others how to do what we did to get into this kind of position without being born with a silver spoon----
Anyway, would anybody be so kind as to give me some last minute input before we sign our life away on a house? It should be kindof a fun thread!
Thank you for your help!
