Is Moving to Hawaii on Your Bucket List?

Making the decision to move to Hawaii was one of the best decisions my husband and I ever made.  I had previously lived on Maui and now we live on Oahu.  We’ve been here in Hawaii almost 9 years now, not including Maui time.  My own past took me to San Francisco, Portland, San Diego, and Phoenix. My husband is from Boston and he has traveled the world with the Marines Corp.  Both of us have lived in and seen some pretty great cities and towns, around the world, but Oahu, Hawaii still ranks as our favorite place to live.
