I have known two people who moved to Maui and actually got fairly decent jobs there. Both of them ended up leaving, one within three years, the other in less than a year. The last time I visited Maui, which was in a time frame measured in "more than a decade ago," the traffic seemed absurdly congested until you got way upcountry.
I saw these photos on Flickr, and I was hoping they meant you were already heading back to da islands. Oh well, at least you live an an island, which, even though it is cold and rainy and remote, is still pretty cool.
When I lived in Hawaii, I felt badly for people who were visiting on holiday when it rained... because when it rains, it seriously rains and often doesn't let up.
My last week on Oahu was one of constant torrential rains, some of the heaviest I had seen during my time there, combined with the most intense humidity I eerienced while there. My final few days had me not regretting leaving at all.
Now, at this moment, rain mixed with snow is pounding on the roof here in the so-called "arid" region of southern Utah, and I am thinking that maybe Hawaii rain isn't all that bad, after all.
Interesting info about the marine mammal lab. It almost sounds, well, not very "lab" like. Were you there as part of your university studies?
