Garygromet, if this weren't so sadly untrue, I wouldn't bother responding but the truth is just the opposite. The cost of living and lack of jobs (well, anything more advanced than waiter, maid, surf instructor, Etc) are rare and means that many people have to hold two or more jobs just to buy their $7 boxes of cerial, $6 cartons of milk, and $2.37/gal gasoline. Well, ok I overlook the fact that we have Costco and there's savings to be had, but I'm not exaggerating about the job situation. The banana republic known as Hawaii is one step better than many 3rd world countries as far as professional services, jobs, public education, and infrastructure goes. Some islands like Maui are getting better but we still have a long way to go. There were legit reasons why Business Week or Money Magazine (I forget which) labeled Hawaii "An economic basket case" last year. However, I digress.
Give me a week where I don't have to work 80 or 100 hours and then I'll feel like I'm on vacation. Speaking of which, one of these years I'm going to take a 1-week vacation right here. Until that time comes, like my friend The Mighty Skunk says, it's all part of the paradise tax.

P.S. Great roads here. Not sure how many miles but some truly fabulous rides with awesome terrain. Check out the ride descriptions and photos at http://www.gocyclingmaui.com/
