Summary: SIMPLE PLEASURE
Comment: BEING FROM THIS ISLAND, I WAS INTRIGUED. WELL WRITTEN AND WITH GOOD INSIGHT FOR THE VISITOR OR KAMAAINA...I ENJOY HIS TRUTHFUL YET POSITIVE PERSPECTIVE...BOUGHT SEVERAL COPIES TO PASS AROUND.

Rating: 5
Summary: enjoyable and thorough
Comment: I had also bought "So You Want to Live in Hawaii", which i thought had a somewhat pessimistic tone for considering moving to Hawaii.
Affordable Paradise seems to have a very realistic and thorough understanding of whats involved both physically, financially, and mentally for considering making the move. It presents both positive and negative aspects for choosing Hawaii, and what to look for in purchasing a home, shopping, and understanding the locals. Very good book.

Rating: 4
Summary: a pleasure to read
Comment: Skip Thomsen writes about a popular Island pastime called "talk story," when a neighbor drops by to talk with you. Life comes to a halt, as you prepare a beverage, & sit down for their visit. AFFORDABLE PARADISE is like that.

Skip Thomsen tells you about life on the Big Island, & in particular the Windward side & Hilo.

As your tour guide to The Big Island, he covers:
The Dream & The Realities
Finding Your Own Special Place - The Choices
Your Virtual Tour
Making the Big Move - Arranging Shipping; What-and-What NOT-to take
Do I Take My Car?
What About Pets?
Kids and School
Shopping
Income Opportunities
Retirement

A pleasure to read, with lots of useful information & honest perspectives.
