Living in True Isolation

[longknife]

Could you live in a place like this? 1,600 miles from Guam and 2,000 miles from Hawaii. Don't lock you doors – ever – and kids can go outside to play unattended any time they wish. Awesome scuba diving but one problem – a Burger King, Subway, and a pizzo joint that often run out of fresh produce and no sit-down restaurant. You want something? Need to order it from a long ways away.

Oh yeah, no stoplights because there are no cars.

But, people keep volunteering to come back.

I had a job offer in Honolulu once but upon further review I turned it down because even Hawaii is too isolated for me.

I have no desire to live anywhere besides the continental USA.

I lived 10,000 feet up in the Rockies. No phone. 1 TV station if there was snow on the ground, and a Mama bear who fed her cubs my dog's food everyday.

Kwajalein, the wife turned down two contract job offers there, the job was unaccompanied which meant I would have to be approved (if there was available housing) to go and pay my own way and we would not have been able to bring the cats.
