I run a small IT firm in Alaska, and realized one day that the vast majority of my work was done on the computer, on the phone, or both. With that in mind, and the urgent prodding of my lovely fiancee who was heartily tired of the long winters, the decision was made to move elsewhere.
We have a family friend in Kauai, and after visiting him we found ourselves falling in love with the mountains, forests, and quiet that's found when you left the road.
Before doing that, we sold everything we owned (with the exception of my laptop) got into our trusty diesel VW and drove across the country visiting every place we could think of we might want to live.
So, Kauai it is!
Our plan at the moment is to land, rend a car, and find a short term rental to live in while we wait for our car to arrive. In the meantime, we'll start a serious search for a sweat-equity home we can purchase and fix up ourselves. She will no doubt be job hunting away.
Any thoughts and wisdom are much appreciated!
