Does anyone out there live in Hilo, Hawaii?I might be moving there soon! PLZZZ????
First off, here is an excellent website that gives information on moving to Hilo. http://www.hiloliving.com/ Look through the links on the right hand side of the page…there is a wealth of information. My co-worker was born and raised in Hilo and visits several times each year…her extended family still lives there. Some of the things she has told me over the years: Hilo is on the “rainy” side of the island, meaning it rains in Hilo more often then other areas. Hilo isn’t necessarily considered a tourist destination, so there’s less tourists there. She says Leleiwi Beach is a rocky beach that is great for snorkeling and swimming and she also recommends Richardson’s Beach, which can be seen here: http://www.8hawaiibeaches.com/beach.html Good luck. It looks like a beautiful place. Sources: http://www.hiloliving
