❤ I like this format better than the live format because I can get info faster, but it is still real.
Awesome video like the Q&A format.
Hey friends! Another great video. I wanted to double check what I thought I heard you talking about with the Haole Koa and the Albizia. I volunteer at Kuli’ou’ou all the time to clear invasives and my understanding is haole koa is different from the albizia. Maybe I misheard but I thought you called Albizia haole koa. Albizia from indonesia grows 20 ft in the first year and collapse easily in the wind. Haole koa are the fast spreading short plants all along Kalanianaole near koko crater and makapuu and along Kaiwi by my place with all the pods that turn all brown in the summer. The albizia are the super tall trees that grow in the valleys up near makakilo. The haole koa were brought in to feed cattle but cattle didn’t like it and it’s impossible to clear because it regrows even after fires. When we clear it from Kuli’ou’ou we cut it and then try to damage the bark on the stumps to keep it from coming back. Not trying to be a know it all so please tell me if I’ve got this wrong.
Hey Brandy. Sounds like you have it right haha. We just took what the barista told us and tried to regurgitate it, it we may have very well messed that up.
I was truly raised “dirt road poorr” in an area of Portland, Oregon.
We were definitely a family that then people today would consider “a lower class family.”
But we learned to appreciate the simple things. Like a good meal, a new pair of shoes… the singing of the birds during spring. Simple pleasures… That were priceless to us.
My hope is still to be blessed enough, to go from my humble beginnings and retire someplace in Hawaii.
But I will never lose sight of “where I came from.“
Hawaii is the only place I’ve ever been to where I feel true “peace.”
You both are very blessed. You work hard, and raising your children, in a good way, the best you can. Keep up the great work. Not all of us, can someday live in Hawaii.
But, through your stories and videos, we get to in a small way, “see Hawaii through your eyes.”
Thanks for the video guys.
My friend almost drowned in about 2 feet of water at a beach on the North Shore - just kept getting hit with waves and couldn't come up for air. It was super scary. I stood in shallow water at Waimea Bay, not a big wave day, but could feel the water just trying to suck me out, so I got out of the water.
Great format. Keep it up. I never considered checking out FB marketplace to pick up stuff that PCS families are getting rid of. Nice tip that we'll keep in mind when we move to Hawaii. And we'll be sure to downsize before moving so we're not unnecessarily shipping stuff we'll end up getting rid of.
Here's a question for next time: Is it worth shipping a car to Hawaii if we are close to getting a new one. I mean, should we purchase on the mainland and ship it, or should we just wait to buy when we get there? Will we get more for our trade-in or will we be able to sell our older car for more in Hawaii? Enough to offset the shipping charge?
Another Great format. Felt like I was sitting down with you. Honest, informative and comfortable. It’s hard to pick a favorite format ? I liked when you debated neighborhoods as well. I’ll just say I enjoy how you switch it up but always include knowledge I think only locals would know. You two give a perspective way beyond square footage!
Every time I watch you guys episodes it confirms more and more of Hawaii is the perfect place for my family and I. Blessed to have you continue to do awesome content time for another visit this month.
Playgrounds. Show more playgrounds and green spaces. As someone who is in the market to buy, connected to military, but considering investing vs renting; playgrounds and parks in single family home areas is something I want to see. School ratings are really tricky and are not completely cut and dry. School ratings don't reflect community involvement, walkability, etc. but playgrounds and family friendly areas really help to feel out areas to invest in for single family housing.
Aloha Heather. Thanks for the comment. Please reach out to us and tell my assistant that Derek asked you to connect. We’ll talk perks and schools and exits/numbers etc
Do you guys know the Kalamas, the couple from the new HGTV show, Renovation Aloha? Have you or would you work with them if the opportunity presented itself?
I’ve visited Hawaii several times over the years and now me and my husband are retired. We just returned from a week in Waikiki, 32nd floor of the Hyatt and just really love the Waikiki vibe. I don’t know for sure if it was you or another RUclips real estate channel that said, you don’t want to live in Waikiki. I don’t get it. I could totally see us living in a high rise condo near Ala Wai canal or in the heart of Waikiki. Also, is there a “gayborhood”, a more gay friendly area? Also love Ward and Kakaako, but so pricey. Thanks. We love your videos!
One more thing about moving to Hawaii: Furniture or home furnishing stores like Ikea, Pottery Barn, William-Sonoma, The Container Store, etc. are not here. Ikea doesn't even ship to Hawaii. The stores that do ship to Hawaii have a significant surcharge to ship to Hawaii. That's why everybody has the same stuff--the local buyers seem to carry the same stock of merchandise. What's up with that?
Comes with living in the middle of the largest ocean on the planet 🤷♂️
This was so awesome to watch! Loved it😊
Glad you liked it!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, everyone has internet, but Mainlanders are still ignorant about it and it really becomes apparent whenever a volcano is in the news. They think that is the whole place. People living where there are hurricanes and tornadoes every year make jokes about Hawaii people being so dumb for living "around" volcanoes.
Even in the 1980s the ignorant Mainlanders could see enough of Hawaii on "Magnum, P.I." to see that it is a civilized, industrialized, modern place, often more modern than many areas there, yet they still thought of it as a jungle island where people don't wear clothes and live in shacks. I remember someone asking how the electricity and the telephone got to Hawaii, asking if there were wires on poles going out across the ocean. They looked like I had been in a third-world country without utilities.
People get trucks and SUVs because they carry more stuff, are higher off the ground, can manage bumpy roads well, and allow people to see better around the other vehicles. I don't get understand why people find this odd and mysterious.
My parents went back and forth to Hawaii twice and left a third time taking most of their furniture with them. What wouldn't fit in a home was put in "storage" somewhere; I'm not sure where.
Great point about volcano eruptions making the main news circuits. All of a sudden everyone thinks any and every one in Hawaii is at danger when in actuality most of us aren’t anywhere near the lava flow
