I lived on 102nd as a child and on Ibis as a teenager. I was the luckiest kid in the world. When I was 15, I took the boat across and volunteered at the dispensary...AWESOME! We also lived on Ewa Planatation. Our church used the property for their (my) high school. It just doesn't get any cooler. My dad was with NSGA at Pearl Harbor. Now, I'm a 40 year old college student filling the minds of my children with my own memories of paradise. I love your pictures and share your love of the island.

When I worked Civil Service at Pearl Harbor, I totally enjoyed my daily boat ride. It was a relaxing and beautiful way to start the work day. When I moved to the Mainland, I had vivid memories of the view of the Arizona Memorial, the gentle breeze, the rainbows and the smell of the ocean air. So glad I moved back here!!

That being said, depending on what you spouses rank is, it may actually make more sense for you to look into living on base ... especially if you plan to work in Honolulu. On base housing is very easy to obtain here in Hawaii ... most don't have a waiting list. If you're getting a very large housing allowance, you can possibly pocket a few extra dollars living in a place like Iroquois Point. But, after you factor in utilities, extra gas, and extra time spent traveling, it's almost a wash. I may actually move on base, either or Hickam or Schofield at some point myself sometime this year. Hope this helps, Todd @Dogdazed,

Thanks! We are moving to Oahu in August '08 and are looking over areas to live. It looks like the Ewa side is the most affordable (buy or rent - we have pets), but the commute sounds horrible. I'd heard there is a ferry, but the only info I could find is on the WikiWike ferry from Iroquois point. I think it is discontinued though, and I think it went to Honolulu. Do you know anything about that one? I'm a AF mil dependent, so I could ride the Grey boat, but would need a bus to Honolulu. Is that possible? Again, thanks for the info.
