This section shares our island lifestyle, such as our mostly off-grid solar and water catchment set up and the aloha spirit of our community. The weather is great most of the time with a perfect balance of sun and rain and constant trade winds so no need for AC or heat. We have no city garbage or recycling service so we do drop-offs at the nearby transfer station. We are more eco aware; for instance, we try to reuse things like using the empty laundry detergent container as a watering can. Since we don't have a mailbox yet, we make trips to the local post office on our way to town, which is a bit of a drive so those activities are strategically planned and food is stocked up.
