we are just wrapping up 7 days in paradise.
neither of us want to go home and so we fantasized about the possibility of moving from our stumping grounds in the continental u.s. our prospects were shot when i learned from cnnmoney.com :
HOUSING would be roughly 90% MORE...
(Comparing Honolulu, HI to Portland, OR)
UTILITIES would cost about 68% MORE...
and
GROCERIES, 51% MORE!!!
we can still dream, right? we could buy a yurt and install surrounding solar panels with a neighboring garden for our food cooperative!
my inner hippie is wishful.
