The well known king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, was my father’s idol. No wonder, the Hawaiian Wedding Song that appears on the album Blue Hawaii, is one of his favorites. Elvis recorded the song in1961 for the film Blue Hawaii. Since then, this song became famous among the wedding vocalists.

As such, whenever my parents attend wedding ceremonies, they wish to hear this Hawaiian Wedding Song. For them, the song’s words and music by King – Hoffman – Manning, sooth the hearts and minds not only of those being wed, but likewise the witnesses to the occasion. To top it all, the beautiful seashore of Hawaii is most admired by my father who is a retired naval officer.

It is no surprise therefore that my parents discussed with us their plans to have a place to stay in Hawaii. They asked my help to search the website, where in Hawaii will be best to have a vacation home. Actually, I could sense that whether we recommend Hawaii homes, Oahu real estate or Honolulu real estate, it will be approved by my parents, as long as it is in Hawaii. If this happens, we might have the 50th Wedding Ceremony of my parents in the 50th state with the Hawaiian Wedding Song played during the ceremony.

“Wise men say only fools rush in. . .”, is just a part of the lyrics of the famous song, Can’t Help Falling In Love With You of Elvis Presley, included in The All Time Greatest Hits album. In making important decisions in our life, a person need not be in a hurry or rush in. It is very necessary to weigh the pros and cons of the choices or options. The same is true if you are moving your family to a new location.

This is what happened to my friend James, who decided to move his family in California. At first, they stayed in a rented place at San Jose homes, while deciding where to purchase their dream house. While in the said place, James visited the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to include the Los Angeles MLS and looked also into the Sacramento foreclosure home. The members of the family participated in the democratic process of deciding where to have their home sweet home. Finally, in order to save money, they have decided to purchase and likewise invest in foreclosures.

Like James family, a wise family never rushes in. Frank Sinatra in his song, Fools Rush In, has this lyrics, “Fools rush in where wise men never go, and fools rush in where angels fear to tread”. Be smart and wise in everything we do.

My office mate was actually the one who showed me this tool. She became interested in buying a vacation house in Maui, Hawaii after she fell in love with Maui when she went there with her family for Christmas vacation.

Well, based from the pictures she flaunted when she came back from their Christmas vacation, it’s a wonder she did not just quit her job and stayed there for good. That’s what I would do. I mean, Maui life… beautiful beaches like the sandy Keawapu beach, the graceful hula dancers wearing flower-printed clothes, masses of sweet and juicy tropical fruits… who can resist it?

To keep my friends options open though, she’s also checking out Molokai real estate and Lanai real estate. I couldn’t blame her … Those places also have great beaches and terrific ambiance.
