As the only archipelago in the United States, Hawaii is comprised of 137 islands with eight main islands. The actual island of Hawaii is referred to as the Big Island, and other main islands include Maui, Oahu and Kauai. In the event that you are fortunate enough to relocate to Hawaii, each of its islands has something to offer in the way of scenery and Pacific island living.
Choose which island you are moving to. As there are numerous islands in Hawaii, selecting which one to move to depends on your personal requirements. If your relocation is job related, this step may be already taken care of since you will live on the same island as your workplace.
In addition to choosing which Hawaiian island you plan on moving to, educate yourself about its different neighborhoods and areas. Learn information such as which streets run downtown or in a particular area, where the nightlife is and, if necessary, which neighborhoods are most family-friendly.
Search for a new abode. Once you know where in Hawaii you plan to move, the next step is finding which apartment, house, condo or other dwelling you prefer living in. One efficient way of searching for your new home, regardless of where you move from, is searching the Internet for listings in your chosen neighborhood. Subscribing to a local newspaper is another way of searching for and finding a new place to live in Hawaii. Placing an ad in a local paper renders responses from renters and sellers, which is helpful to your search as well.
Move into your new home. With all of the packing, shipping of your possessions and personal travel to Hawaii finished, moving day has arrived. Though not part of the continental United States, the same services, such as movers, are available on the main Hawaiian Islands. Add convenience to your move by scheduling your utilities, as well as cable and phone services, prior to your moving day. This is done to maximize your comfort once you have moved in.
