Hey, thanks for all the advice! My husband found a great 3 bedroom in Nuuanu. A little further from his job but closer to my potential employer (nice trade off since I currently drive 50 miles one...

No takers, huh? :)

My thread looks lonely so I thought I'd reply to it :D

Hello. My husband is looking for a place for us to live in when I arrive with our two fur children in December. He works at U of H and I may be working at Queens Medical center or U of H as well. ...

Thanks! This will help us as we figure out our budget and wether or not leasing a car will fit in there.

Anyone know the typical price/month to lease a mid-size car (nothing fancy) in Honolulu? We are considering this an option in addition to/instead of a scooter, the bus, or our own two feet.

When I looked up ave precipitation by month in Honolulu, the December and January aves are higher than most of the rest of the year. I was surprised that we get more rain on ave in W-burg than...

60F would be cold to me now...it's been around 100F most days for the past two weeks. 60 after December temps will be great! I won't ship my heater then, but sweaters..yes!
I was in LA this January...

Hey thanks, these sites were helpful. I find it funny that W-burg gets more rain than Honolulu. I know its on the dry/leeward side, but you think Hawaii and you think rainforest :) That and I really...

50 is chilly, but it's way better than 30 or less during the winter! I have a little electric heater and I am debating about whether to ship it over or not...
We'll be living near U of H Manoa. We...

Hello. I know that Hawaii doesn't have a winter as I would know it (I'm from the east coast near D.C.), but how cool does it get? I ask because I'm cold blooded and I want to get an idea of what...

I would never ride a scooter/moped back home in Md...the drivers are scary enough when I'm in a car. I'll have to see how Hawaii drivers compare.

What do you guys think? How do hawaii drivers...

Wow! I keep seeing these websites for scooter adventures in Hawaii when I google for info. These people have no idea what they will be getting into :D
If we do get one, at least we'll know what to...

The people in more rural areas in Md have stronger accents as do the people from just outside of Richmond. The people from outside of Richmond are the ones I hear most often at my job. It's so...

Yeah, I don't know that it would be our primary mode of transport, but it would probably be a nice way to get to beaches and nearby hiking trails.
Of course, it'd be scary...maybe we'll rent one for...

Yeah, I catch a word or two that comes out of mouth sometimes and I think "did I really just say that?". My husband says ya'll sometimes. I don't think I have much of an accent because my family back...

I hear all kinds of southern accents here in the Richmond/Williamsburg Va area. I don't think I notice too much as I hear them on a daily basis.
What I really dislike is people who move to a place...

Ah, let's not forget Richmond, Va. Many drivers are fairly courteous here I must say...especially compared to back in the D.C. metro area where I am from. But there are a number of people who lean on...

My husband and I are trying to figure out how we will get around when we are in Honolulu as we are selling our cars before we arrive. He wants to take the bus to U of H and hopefully we can get a...

Hello. Brian and I are wondering if anyone can recommend any good books on Hawaii. Culture, hiking, etc. We have one book that goes into great detail about the flora and fauna of each of the islands....

I've heard that Honolulu has microclimates...that some areas get more rain than others and that some are hotter than others. Can I get more info on this? This would also help us decide on an area to...

So there is a charge for computer to landline calls. Is there a charge for computer to computer calls? That's probably waht we'd being doind most of. We already have IM...but it's nice to hear each...

Oh, swimming in the ocean...and let's not forget sharks. Of course I would end up moving to an island :)

Hello. My husband and I are looking for a way to stay in touch for very, very cheap (i.e. free if possible). He will be in Honolulu in September and I will be staying put in Va until December...

Thanks. We've been checking Craig'slist and we will check out these papers as well. We are only going to rent and start with an apartment for a while. When we've lived there a bit and gotten a budget...

Thanks, the article was very interesting. Our friends of the family have family in Honolulu, so they are going to give us some info, too. I'm so glad I found a place to get info before hand. I never...
