You will learn how to find bargain homes, how to save money in your everyday life in Hawaii, where the income opportunities are, what to expect in the schools, and maybe the most important part of all, you'll discover what it means to live aloha!

There's also a whole chapter on just reasons why you might NOT want to move to Hawaii. Just a few of them:

The effects of leaving behind family and friends. What happens when one partner feels the essence of Hawaii and to the other, Hawaii is just another place. Some peopleÂ’s kids simply do not want to be here. What if your kids canÂ’t handle the peer-testing theyÂ’ll be subjected to at school. ItÂ’s different in this multi-cultural climate. What about "That local attitude." Dogs, dogs, everywhere, and nothing can be done about the constant barking. "Things just donÂ’t happen here like they did at home." Working with Government in building or business issues. The so-called lack of available jobs. Rural HawaiiÂ’s "different" driving habits. Having to wait for what you want or need right now.
