Well…it all comes down to this Podcast…Sleeping with the fish!!!

You know what they say about that right? Yep…In the end the Big Fish always gets whats coming to’um!

We go full blast into Fishing in Paradise and dealing with Shore Cast to the Deep Blue Beyond with the big boys…from Mahi Mahi, to Ahi to the Blue Marlin. We promise…we won’t forget the little guys here…there are plenty of them that are a taste above the rest.  so sit back, relax and learn a thing or two about fishing in paradise with Chad Cromer as he takes us through his fishing routine and what you can plan to catch from the Big Fish to the little boys!

Today we have a hell of a show lined up as we discuss Beth and Kevin’s move and transition to BIG ISLAND LIVING on HAWAII ISLAND. We’ve been excited about getting these little cubs into the Lucky We Live Hawaii Cave so we can hear all about their journey together to Paradise. It’s been a long time coming and we have a good feeling this will help others prepare themselves for making such a big move across the globe not only mentally but physically.

Beth and Kev got plenty of ALOHA to go around and if you bring they type of love and desire to make your dreams come true as they have and are willing to to change with the times and your surroundings you’ll be sure to make your dreams come true in Paradise as well…and if you’re in Kailua-Kona stop by and say Aloha to them at the KONA BREWING COMPANY…I’m sure one of them will give you a FREE BEER!

Shoots~

There is a REALITY we don’t wish to face sometimes…The acceptance of LEAVING HAWAII.

I can’t count on my hands how many friends and acquaintances have left the islands over the years…some had been here only a year or two…but other had been here 20-30 years or even all their life!

When you make such a BIG CHANGE in your life to move across the Earth more than likely the hope and dream is to make it your final resting spot…Unfortunately sometimes dreams and hopes can be shattered…and when that happens you need to make the choice to do what is best for yourself and your family.

To live in Hawaii for 10 or 20 or more years it can be an ABSOLUTE CULTURE SHOCK when returning to the mainland…and for some…people who return after a long time in Hawaii can NEVER RECOVER!

For many…they feel they have failed…perhaps that they even have let themselves down…BUT…as long as you know HAWAII itself and the SOCIAL SYSTEM in place was BUILT for you to FAIL…you’ll have a GOOD HEAD START to make every effort to not allow that to happen.

JUST BE WARNED…Hawaii may be Paradise for some, but for way more it’s a system that is built to allow you to FAIL! As long as you know this you can put things in place to safeguard yourself as much as possible so you DON’T end up like the THOUSANDS of people who leave Hawaii every year because they just can’t make ends meet.

 

When is the best time to MOVE to HAWAII? Is it when you are young? Is it when you are old? Perhaps it’s best to come to retire…or is that the worst idea?

We sit down with a long time Podcast listener and friend, STEVE DEWEY and discuss his story and journey to Hawaii and his dream to plan his move to paradise.

Steve’s been coming to Hawaii with his Dad since he was a kid…most of his life however he has lived in Seattle. Steve and his Wife is just getting a little sick with the clouds, cold and gloom of the Washington area…but is Moving to Hawaii that easy?

What concerns does Steve have about his move to Hawaii? Many who move to Hawaii have difference circumstances as to why they can’t move today or limits them on WHEN they can move to Hawaii. We discuss these concerns with Steve and perhaps this is everyone’s chance to consider the reasons for moving and not moving yourselves to Hawaii as well as when and when not one should move here.

*Update…Lots have contacted us about the FULL FACE MASKS…although we have used them and they had worked efficiently, we CAN’T recommend them until MORE testing takes place in Hawaii waters concerning them. Mahalo~

Over the last TWO WEEKS Hawaii has lost 8 vacationers to Snorkeling related Deaths…that’s over a death every other day for the last two weeks!

Unimaginable honestly…but it happened and we just lost one of them again at Hanauma Bay just YESTERDAY!

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING and how can you make sure it doesn’t happen to you, your wife, your parents, or children….THIS IS A MUST LISTEN!

We discuss TRADITIONAL SNORKELING equipment and the NEW FULL-FACE NINJA MASKS that some say are AWESOME, like myself, and others say could be causing a problem…Of the 8 people who died the last two weeks several of them had been wearing the NEW FULL FACE MASKS…for me I enjoy them much more than traditional masks, you have much more vision, can breathe out of nose and mouth and best of all if you have Facial hair, like I do, it doesn’t leak for me like the Traditional Mask…I discuss my personal feelings for both and why I like one over the other and my experience with them both…but Bruce does bring up a good point on the RESEARCH on these NEW FULL FACE MASKS…do they have issues with TRAPPED CO2? Could they actually be making people pass out? I never had an issue except that I don’t go more than 15 feet down with them because of the pressure on my entire face…but that’s be my only issue and I don’t often go down that deep for snorkeling anyway….There are good and bad about both I guess and it’s really what you prefer…but PLEASE DO THREE THINGS:

1.) RESEARCH YOUR EQUIPMENT…NEW OR OLD.

2.) BE IN GOOD SHAPE…Snorkeling is NOT for someone that doesn’t exercise…You don’t notice because you are just floating, but Snorkeling is like riding a treadmill. 

3.) IF YOU ARE 40-50 or into your 60’s…before you go to Hawaii and snorkel…ask your Doctor is you should be doing it…WE ARE NOT JOKING HERE!

DON’T LEAVE HAWAII IN A BODY BAG….that’s not how we want your dream vacation to end.

 

Well…it’s 2018…where the F@%# did we go?

Well…you see…Bruce’s been Slingshoting around the galaxy, Wayde’s been on a quest in a Galaxy far, far away to uncover the obnoxious SOCIAL JUSTICE WARS which is the LAST JEDI…

I think both have had valid points as the Podcast was put aside to deal with such serious matters the last month…With that said, Wayde and Bruce will be discussing all the SHIT STORMS that have been hitting the islands known as HAWAII. What is coming for these islands in the middle of nowhere in 2018?…Could it be another Proton torpedo or Ion missile attack? WHO KNOWS! What Battles have taken place and what ones are still to come?  We cover all your vital comments, voice messages and questions today and even cover the Last Star Wars movie…One of us loved it, one of us hated it…we’ll also talk about the horrible Kermit the FROG Ige. We try to get to the bottom of what happened with this Bomb scare that happened the other day and what if a NUKE hit Hawaii? Are we safe? Can Hawaii deal with a Major Disaster?

Get ready FOLKS…this show is not for the weak minded or the Social Justice Warriors out there with their PURPLE Fucking hair! This is serious bullshit we’ll be talking about and we’re not talking about Droids either on this Podcast either!

We hope this takes off the NEW YEAR with a bang! So get ready to make the jump to light-speed with the “Return of the Podcast!”

 

Well, yeah…it’s that time of season again..All the Holidays are coming together and it’s time to enjoy them with Family and friends…

This Years Christmas Holiday Seasons Greeting Podcast will be about:

WHY CHRISTMAS IS HAWAII IS AWESOME

LOCAL HOLIDAY TRADITIONS IN HAWAII

FUN FACTS ABOUT CHARLIE BROWN and the CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

We had a hard time trying to figure out what we would cover in Christmas Music this year and with Wayde doing a Peanuts Theme at his home for the Holidays we chose to go with the Charlie Brown Christmas Album and discuss some cool unexpected facts about the Peanuts.

So from Wayde and Bruce here at “Lucky We Live Hawaii” we want to wish everyone a Mele Kalikimaka and Happy Holiday Season and New Year!

 

When’s the actual last time we had a FUN Podcast…It’s long over due…and we’ll be covering our top 10 favorite Hawaiian songs that remind us and bring us back to Hawaii, no matter where we are…on island or off. We hope you love these 10 songs as much as we do…Some are new, some are old and some are just too damn classic to not put in here. These songs you never get sick of!

THESE ARE OUR TOP 10 SONGS OF HAWAII!

Aloha and Enjoy~

We are very excited to be talking to Director PHIL PAYSON and Producer ZOE EISENBERG on their Award winning SHORT FILM…“Aloha from Lavaland”

On June 27 2014, a vent in Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted and lava began flowing

directly toward the center of Pahoa, a small rural town on the Big Island of Hawai’i. Hard

to predict and impossible to stop, the flow threatens to cut of the town’s only access road,leaving the residents of this remote community to rely heavily on one another as they prepare for possible isolation.

Produced in conjunction by Gift Culture Media, Larkin Pictures and Pure Mother Love,

this 55 minute award-winning documentary explores an inner community perspective of the lava fow, following residents as they ask and answer important questions about

community, sustainability, harmony, and what it really means to live in such an

unpredictable paradise.

In addition to street interviews and news coverage, the documentary follows a local

Hawaiian kumu (healer), a sustainability expert and the leader of a sovereign Hawaiian

community over a period of seven months as they attempt to prepare for the unpreparable. Shot in a grass-roots effort by several Pahoa community members, Lavaland offers a unique insider’s look at life in the midst of a slow motion disaster.

It’s been a while…3 years to be exact since we last had a conversation on this Podcast about Life Off Grid and living a Sustainable life here in Hawai’i.

A lot has happened over the 3 years since our first podcast on Living Off Grid in Hawaii. Our last Podcast on the subject has been one of our most popular, most downloaded, and most frequently asked about. It has reached #1 and #2 on the Google Search Engine. If you are interested in listen to the complete “LIVING OFF GRID IN HAWAII” Podcast please click the link: https://luckywelive808.com/living-grid-hawaii/

It’s been a long time coming for this NEW ADDITION of OFF GRID LIVING IN HAWAII. Wayde’s Book Cover LIFE OFF GRID interview in the November 2017 issue of Hawaii Business Magazine and his Ebook has been release. Wayde discusses living off grid in Hawai’i and how to live a sustainable and affordable lifestyle in a State where the cost of living is the highest in the nation! We all know Hawai’i is changing and we must change with it if we wish to stay here. It’s the only way to sustain and protect our family’s future here in Hawai’i. Wayde’s been very excited to share with all of us the future opportunities that will be available for sustainable living here on the Islands of Hawai’i.

LIVING OFF GRID IN HAWAII will guide you step by step on how to live off grid, live a sustainable lifestyle and lower your energy and food bills while leaving a smaller environmental footprint on planet Earth.

They say there is a price to pay for paradise. There doesn’t have to be, when you start taking responsibility for the choices you make. We CAN afford to continue living in paradise when we take back control of our lives, but we have to stop talking about it and start taking action!

LIFE OFF GRID is a big step for those wishing more control and freedom. For our species to sustain itself for generations to come, some of us must choose to lead the rest of us down a path of sustainable living. If we don’t…we simply won’t survive as a species.
