I'm moving to Maui, what logistical things do I need to know?
Question:In terms of health care, local prices, taxes, certain restrictions or regulations. Also, the culture.
Answers:
My husband and I visit there 2 X a year. We would like to move there, however, my husband has a heart condition. Most major medical emergencies and care is sent to the Big Island. We decided that we could not move there without having the quality of care we needed much closer to home.
Some things are pretty much the same price there as the mainland but the things that are higher are MUCH higher. Milk, gas, etc. We just came back from there 3 weeks ago and we saw many "Now Hiring" signs. They are doing a lot of building (which is very sad) on the island. Many new resorts. And of course, housing is extremely high there.
The people there are wonderful. Some of the locals seem to resent the "tourists". Watch the fishing laws. Best of luck.
Its just like the states, except a lil pricey and so pretty. Be good to the locals!! Try out different foods, dont be disgusted by the local foods.you might even like them. Be openminded...so many things to see up there!! also, smile. there is the ALOHA SPIRIT there...when u smile, they smile back, if u need help, they will help u!!
you will probably learn all you need to once there
I was a military wife and what you don't know now you'll learn when you get there. Don't worry.
