well, i hope you have A LOT of $$$$$$$ and/or are expecting a large inheritance and/or have a WEALTHY husband. I suggest that you read the Maui News on a regular basis (and peruse prior issues of the newspaper) to understand the challenges facing our island (i.e., overdevelopment, growing disparity between "Haves" and "Have-Nots", BIG ICE (crystal meth) problems, escalating domestic violence, a tourist industry that DOMINATES the agenda and takes priority over the NEEDS of the residents, endless traffic, an infrastructure that CANNOT sustain all this development and impact of the visitor industry, low wages, and skyrocketing rents and real estate. Lots of folks who were born and raised on Maui are now working 2 to 3 to 4 jobs to make ends meet and/or are leaving Hawai'i altogether. So you need to ask yourself, if you move to Maui, are you ready to face these challenges. Oh, one last thing: Kalama Intermediate now has a drug sniffing dog.
Please read these articles (URL's below):
Project unleashes drug-sniffing dog
OH GIVE ME A Home: "For the year just ended, the average price of a single-family house was $941,434, according to the Multiple Listing Service of the Realtors Association of Maui..."
best wishes!

Yes, make sure they don't grow up using Crystal Meth because Hawaii has a big problem with drug crimes.

You can't drive a plane. NO passport is needed. Always get there earlier than anticipated.
