Why oh why???

I know were I would like to live and I'll tell you why. I like Maui, the island between Ohau and Hawaii. I like the climate and the ocean. If I had a small house on the north side of Haleakala, the dormant volcano, at about 1500 to 2000 feet, I could lead a simple life and love every minute. You don't need air
conditioning at that elevation, and you are a short motor scooter ride from the beach. At 10,024 feet, the summit has a view beyond imagination. When you are on Maui, you are a short boat ride from Molokai, a lush and beautiful, almost primative island. A short plane ride gets you to Hawaii, the biggest island in the state with mountains, beaches, ranches, deserts, active volcanos and even ski slopes.
Or an even shorter plane ride in the other direction takes you to Honolulu, the greatest city in the world. Why would anyone want to live anywhere else?
