Seriously(sp), how far away from the beaten path(I know what the big island is like, been there) is your land? I see a paved road, excellant, it looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I see the orchids too! Can you give me the name of your real estate agent? Oh and is it still true that you can't really 'buy' the land, the state leases it to you for 99 years or something like that.

I need to win that Powerball lottery!!!

You can buy land in Hawai'i just like anywhere else, FG. In fact, we bought our acre from some Japanese investors who had never even seen the land, more's the pity. That spot is in Hawai'ian Paradise Park, about 20 minutes down the road from Hilo, the biggest city that side of the island (which has a WalMart and a mall, but still manages to have a very small-town feel).

However, HPP doesn't have many paved roads; what you see is graded volcanic earth, which does alright; there's a paving program going on, but it'll take time to reach every side street.

Our real-estate agent was Denise Nakanishi:

She and her daughter, Mealoha, took excellent care of us, a year ago August, and I highly recommend her.

If you're interested, I can also suggest some books you might want to read about living in Hawai'i; there are a lot more factors than just cost of living, and not everyone finds island living to their taste.

Ray, yes tell me what you think I should read, and I was on Remax's site last night looking at what they have. I saw several lots for sale under $50k,...one I was looking at was on Hy 200, down the road from Hilo, it appeared to be in the middle of the island and not too close to the volcaino...is your property in that area?
Thanks for the help,...I have a year until I can sell the condo, I paid $125k for it, I should be able to swing for a vacant lot. I saw some lots for less than $25k, but wasn't sure where on the map they are, I will get a wall map, that should help.

Voted and bumping to the top....

We got smacked at weekinwhedon, going from 978 yesterday to 1007 now, with 50 votes to 74 for the Angelites.

At BBC we are 40.18%, but Star Wars is coming down slowly (to 30.49%, versus 30.82% three weeks ago).

I'd like to see a graphic of timing on the votes. Is there a surge that's not explained? A cheater's surge?

Love voting for FIREFLY. Makes me all shiny.
