Kaui is great, but Maui No Ka Oi.

Aloha,

Maui is nice too. Does it rain a lot in Bend?

As a neighbor, I don't feel like it depreciate the neighborhood and we never have any issue. They block out the weeks when they are back in the states. A few weeks in the summer and Xmas. Some of the homes here do have a basement, we don't. Homes on the downslope side of the hill do.

Great your vacationers are grandparents providing a family vacation in Naples. I don't know the websites, I am sure you could google vacation home rentals in Naples. See what the market like.

Oh are you talking basements in Cali? Or Orlando? We had them all over in Idaho etc. Just not down here in Florida. The water table is at about 2 feet I think so you couldn't have one even if you wanted. Seasonal rentals are quite expensive here that I know.

We switch between the two islands, love them both for different reasons. Have you heard anything about the tsunami debris reaching HI yet? I think I heard estimates of it arriving starting this spring but that it would hit the west coast first. Haven't seen anything here yet tho.

Definitely no basements anywhere here where i live. Those hillside things don't really count as basements . We don't have real attics either. Our poor kids grow up without any spooky experiences to tell their kids one day

That's one main problem keeping me put. I don't know. Australia, Sweden maybe....love Hawaii but not sure...thinking I may want more "mainland" than that. Not sure. Were retired so we could go anywhere...we just get bored too quickly lol. I guess I'm at that point where I don't know where I want to settle at. *sigh*

T'is interesting to read how things are different on both sides of the big pond. Here in switzerland we all have basements and not only that, it is mandatory to build an anti-atomic shelter in it at construction time. So i have one at my place, supposed to offer shelteer to 17 people but i can tell you, in case i would rather stay outside in the garden then being stuck in there!

No. Bend is on the East slope of Cascades and they block many of the storms that make the Western part of the state so famous for rain. Located at about 4,000', Bend has 300 days of sunshine a year. Might be cool at 40 degrees, but you don't need a heavy coat. It's an outdoor paradise. Mt. Bachelor, a major ski area with lots of pow, is 25 minutes away. There are beautiful rivers, trails, Ponderosa forests - every outdoor activity under the sun.

It's an international Mecca for mountain biking and rock climbing. Always something happening here. Kind of a working town version of Aspen. A lot like Boulder, where BFS is located.

Me too I live and work in Cumbria. We have a big nuclear installation here. Rather be quick than slow and sore :-( lovely topic.
Is the weather away from here as topsy turvey as ours this year?

I don't get down to orange often anymore, but I always enjoyed how clean and spread out some of the areas are. It's a perfect place to raise a large family. I do love Carlsbad, it's a nice beach community. My son got an acceptance letter from UC irvine honor program. But his criteria is nothing in So.Cal is his preference. Sigh

I went to UC-Santa Barbara on an academic scholarship and worked at the beach parks as a California State Park Ranger. It was a wonderful setup. My youngest son was born there (older son in Newport Beach). It was pretty nice back in the day.

You're retired at 43? Now I'm really jealous!

It's hard picking a place where you really want to live. Too many choices, and realistically you know the grass is always greener on the other side. I would love to move back to Munich...in the summers. Hawaii for the winters doesn't sound awful. The flight back and forth...no thank you! In the end I hope I'll end up close-ish to at least one of my kids.
