Almost a year ago my family began the process of moving to Oahu, one of the main Hawaiian islands, and home to the capitol city of Honolulu. Withing a month we found an apartment on Oahu, packed up our belongings, sold a lot of stuff, said goodbye to friends and loved ones, and took off for the island.
During the moving process I had many people tell me that they think Hawaii is a nice place to visit, but not to live; that they felt sorry for me because I was moving to Oahu, of all the islands; that I would get claustrophobic and move back in a year or two; you get the point. Now almost a year later I am pleased to say that I am anything but claustrophobic, Oahu has a lot to offer and is a great place to live, and overall, living here is way better than just visiting! My life is far from perfect. And yes I have made sacrifices to be here. But it has been more than worth it and I would not change a thing.
That being said, I rearranged this entire blog so that instead of just talking about the move here and the adjustment to a new lifestyle, it is now about what my family does here on Oahu. Oahu is more than Waikiki and the tourist spots that so many people are familiar with, and I hope to share that with you.
