Great Twitterview today from @HawaiiCM, who will have the Storify transcript to share later tonight. I'll link it later. #HiCM
@TakeAimNow You're welcome; thanks for everyone's support! #HICM
@LaraBrittWrites @Goodreads contest runs through 5 Dec. Lots of entries! http://qub.me/aJQLvx #HICM
@HawaiiCM You're welcome! I'll catch more waves tomorrow morning, White Plains, the 10'0" red longboard off the fenceline. #HICM
@LaraBrittWrites Sounds good. Will mail books next day (priority). Plenty of time to order more before holidays! #HICM
Before time runs out: "Start here" link to http://The-Military-Guide.com http://qub.me/tokyyt Basics, tips, many more resources. #HICM
@TakeAimNow Fiction? In the Navy we call that "sea stories"! But no plans for fiction yet. I enjoy researching and explaining. #HICM
A6: I have to write. Will always be writing "the next" book or blog post. Want to compare blogging 5 years ago to 5 years from now. #HICM
A6: Collecting reader advice/stories for new eBook on #military insurance decisions, pitfalls. Also for 2nd edition of 1st book. #HICM
@TakeAimNow No active volcano on Oahu! Hawaii Island only. Only one earthquake on Oahu in decades, 1 major hurricane in 20 years. #HICM
@LaraBrittWrites Oh, right-- giving away 3x paperbacks on @Goodreads. http://qub.me/W2oRwg Also in public libraries nationwide. #HICM
@LaraBrittWrites Winter surf is North Shore (Chun's Reef, Pua 'Ena) but only when less than 15 feet. Mistakes at 20 feet = painful... #HICM
@joyweesemoll search http://The-Military-Guide.com for keyword "Hawaii". Local living advice for #military and future Hawaii residents. #HICM
@joyweesemoll Year-round bicycle/walk, no home heating or cooling. Real estate is expensive but still cheaper than NYC, LA, Bay area. #HICM
@joyweesemoll Eat local fish/fruits, drive less miles than on Mainland, lower home expenses, lower clothing expenses. Outdoor life. #HICM
Q5: Absolutely. Pace yourself, value your time > $$. No problem finding things to do all day, or just "be" instead of "do"! #HICM
@LaraBrittWrites Surfing 2-3x week, unless waves are 6-10 feet. Then every day until the ibuprofen gives out. White Plains Beach. #HICM
@TakeAimNow Overseas duty is eye-opening to our #firstworldproblems. Some extra pay but mainly living cheaper & greener. #HICM
@TakeAimNow We have backyard tangerine trees, lemons, star fruit, mango. No scurvy here! Costco and bulk buying really helps too. #HICM
@LaraBrittWrites All royalties & my blog revenue go to #military charities-- @WWPInc and Fisher House. Inspires readers to help. #HICM
A4: When on active duty, probably better to rent or live on base than own a house. Avoid big risks when you move a lot. #HICM
A4: Have emergency fund, invest in low-expense index funds, avoid consumer debt, keep budget = values http://qub.me/piVVhy #HICM
@LaraBrittWrites Paradise life: good bicycle/walking weather, no winter clothes, no need air conditioning or central heat! #HICM
@LaraBrittWrites Solar panels paid for themselves in 6 years. We generate more than we use... except when daughter home from college. #HICM
@LaraBrittWrites We enjoy home improvement-- minor plumbing, electric, building skills from Navy sea duty. Saves big $$ on repairs. #HICM
@LaraBrittWrites We buy used cars and drive them into the ground. Maybe deprivation to some, but it's just transportation to me. #HICM
@LaraBrittWrites high savings rate makes the difference. From the blog: http://qub.me/EmgiLR #HICM
