Thinking of moving from San Diego, CA to Honolulu, HI

My wife and have been discussing the possibility of moving to Honolulu, HI. She has always wanted to move but I just can't get myself to leave San Diego. I love it here.
Would I fall in love with HI, as all I have seen are pictures and shows on TV. How is the job market in HI? Would a Mortgage Underwriter and Payment Processing Supervisor have an easy time finding work? Would we be able to find a house in a middle class neighborhood?

Housing seemed fairly abundant and east to obtain, the two hardest issues for me are : to take my car, and what personal items to take. It is very expensive to ship household items. The vehicle was really reasonable 900.00, but a small container of household items started around 5,000.that's about a livingroom full. Also the vehicle takes 3 weeks to ship. I'm still undecided. I'm an xray tech and job opportunitys for me are on maui, and Kaui.and in Honolulu.HI is very beautiful I have some friends on Maui and I have traveled there 5 times. Summers are hot muggy, bugs, rust, rainy winters. But the laid back people and atmosphere are worth all of it.Incidently I also have a job offer in San Diego, any suggestions about relocating there?

I don't agree with uprooting yourself and moving to Honolulu, Hawaii. It is not all paradise and pay is not comparable to US mainland cities. Housing is expensive (if you can find a space) and while jobs are plentiful, the real estate boom appears to be downsiding, this means that homes are overpriced. Go to Starbulletin.com or HonoluluAdvertiser.com and see.

Good luck.
