Diann Wilson Sharing my amusing life on the Big Island
after leaving the Big City.
Goodbye Big City Hello Big Island

Goodbye Big City, Hello Big Island

Who would expect that a sister’s trip to Hawaii to celebrate retirement from the corporate rat race would turn out this way?  A broken rib, friendly realtor and wine-soaked sunset all contributed to a life changing move.

It didn’t take long to learn that life in paradise is not all luaus and golfing.  Feral pigs, nut picking, unique neighbors and a distinct Hawaiian bureaucracy, all contribute to the humor in this hilarious account of moving from the big city to the big island.

The author is a gifted storyteller, laid-back and funny with a penchant for witty observations. Her easy, frothy style feels a little like reading letters from a friend (a somewhat impulsive friend with a good sense of humor) and it’s easy to feel invested in her undertaking while being completely entertained. – Arizona Daily Star
