Aloha -- we moved here from Vancouver WA in 1998! And think you will enjoy the crusin' and quiltin' part as well as your days on good old solid land! Hope you get some shop time too, there is a wonderful quilting tradition on the islands, which is supported by many shops, small and large, no mainland competitors ( NO Joann's, Hobby Lobby, etc.) are here. And lots of fabrics which are not available on the mainland, special prints designs with island flowers, fish, lush tropicals, etc., as well as batiks galore and Asian fabrics as well. Have FUN!
