before you got back. And even then, it would depend on the kid. But before that, nothing matters and two years isn’t going to cause any issues that aren’t offset by upside of such a cool experience.

Sounds fun, wonder if I would get island fever out there

I went for 2 months for my company, it was ok. But I see why people get island fever now

I was thinking the same thing, but maybe with a 2 year guarantee back? I dunno.

2 months sounds about right. 2 years? No thanks.

It's not like a mission. You could still travel, come back to the mainland, visit the other islands, etc.

I’m skeptical of this take based on your board name.

2 years is very doable.

I was offered to stay after the two months for good, but turned it down for few reasons.

Did you go with your family?

Just the wife and myself. No kids

Hmm. Everyone’s different, I guess. This would be the easiest “yes” for me I can

Well we lived in Huntington Beach so the sun, beach , weather and entertainment was already there for us.

She's got to re-think this. She'd be crazy to not do this because of a core group of friends.

She didn't say that I guess, I'm just assuming.

The friends would probably all come and visit.

Why? That is just dumb. Totally should take advantage of that! That would have been so awesome!

Horrible traffic, super expensive, and awful schools. Great place to retire to

You can do anything for 2 years….

2 years is nothing. Especially with the company guaranteeing a return in 2026.

I could understand it if it were about your kids’ friends, but it’s about her friends? I sure hope there’s more to it.

I’m so sorry. It’s hard not to judge your wife. That would be such an amazing

2 years? Should have told her it was a mission call.

Lame. I'm taking a 2 year assignment starting this summer. Thankfully my wife is fully on board. Too bad it's not to
