Leaving Seattle in July 2004 and moving to Ogden Utah was a blast, and it is easy to live down there, the cost of living is way low, but moving to Honolulu on April Fools day is a big deal! I lived it up for the last 30 days, and start a new job full time in downtown on monday.
I stay in a hostel a block from the beach, and there it is only $450 U.S. for a whole month. I grew up in Seattle Washington.
