I wouldn't want to pick up and just leave the mainland. Why leave everything behind?
Imagine how expensive it would be to visit family. Yikes. And what a long plane trip too. I'm sure there are plenty of beautiful places on the mainland that would not sacrifice racing that would meet your needs.
I know it's "Hawai'i" but don't let a romantic notion rule in a very important decision. When you live there, it's not a permanent vacation, just a different backdrop for your regular life.
