Message: [QUOTE="Icculus, post: 3663851, member: 1325"] A few years back, I house-sitted for a month in Maui while telecommuting to my job back in the lower 48. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I can give a couple observations (but keep in mind that these are Maui-centric) 1) The time zone change is not a small thing. Unless you can arrange it with your job to start later in the day, which i did. You will be getting up super-early. A 9:00 meeting at EST would be 3AM Maui time. Even with starting late (I was able to start at 10 EST, 4am Maui time), I tended to be half-asleep by sunset.....which isn't a bad thing necessarily, but it tends to put a damper on doing evening activities. 2) If you plan on doing a lot of hiking & enjoying the full scope of whatever island you are on, I'd reconsider the no-car thing. You will definitely be limiting yourself. When I went (4 years ago) renting a car for a month was surprisingly inexpensive. I believe it was under 1K. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
