then... I live with a buddy's family on Moana street. I lived in Laie through the perspective of a "Laie Boy" because that's who I lived with and that's all they hung out with. For those familiar with Laie they should know there's a huge distinction between being from Laie or living in Laie and being a "Laie Boy".
Point is, I can't tell you what life would be like for you and your family but I can tell you as a mainland boy I really started to miss the mainland. I started to feel isolated out there "on the rock" and was ready to come home. I love it out there but its not a place Id wanna live long term.
