Aloha Jim!
Sounds like you need to come back!
You'll be glad to know the rules for quarantining animals has changed, it's much less time now (one week I think!)
We moved here from the Pacific NW too, 14 years ago, and it was a great move!!
The last move! Lol, I'm not moving all our stuff back across the ocean, Lol!! Maybe you'll be back, huh?
Aloha, Christine

Aloha e Jim,

Yup, rules have changed - there's even a 5day. Go here to see the options - qualifications and costs for 5, 30 and 120 day programs. Also has info on livestock quarantine.

Would LOVE to move...we fell in love with the Islands last year on Honeymoon, went bak this year. When, not IF, I publish my book, we will have a little grass shack with view of West Maui Mts....or Koolau Range...sigh...Boston so pales in comparison!
