Lunch!
Some saimin for the boy. You probably know it as ramen. He skipped the
noodles and went straight for the broth.

Evening stroll
After dinner at Cholos we sat on the sand at Haleiwa Beach. Just what
we needed this evening.

Morning commute
We made it in last night, after 21 hours of travel. We are exhausted
and oh so happy to be home after so long.
My husband met me at the airport, my kitties met me at the door of my
house. Life is very good.

Getting the car ready to ship
Well that's it, then. Our final duty before hopping a flight west. The
car has been cleaned and processed and is oficially someone else's
responsability until the end of July.
I was able to find a Chevy Impala to drive up to Dulles for our flight
on Saturday. The radio has an input jack for my iPhone, so we are
looking forward to the 200 mile drive. I have the radio production of
"The Return of the Jedi" queued up and ready to go.
Wendall will pick the girls up tomorrow, so I will walk into a house
filled with kitties. They left on Tuesday and are spending a few days
in a kennel until things are set up at the house.
Time to go pack the bags once again.

A life filled with Aloha
It is time for us to return home. Time to feel the sun on our skin and smell the ginger in the air. It is time for us to stop wishing we were there and just be there.
On Thursday, Boy Wendall and I will head to Oahu. Elder Wendall has been there for two weeks, getting everything ready for us. In a truly spectacular fashion he has found a car and a house, meaning that we will spend only one night in a hotel before we move into our new home. We won’t have furniture for the first month, but we will have our own roof, and plenty of space.
Our cats will spend a few days in a kennel so we can have everything ready for them at the house. We have not yet told them that they will be kenneled, but they are well aware that a trip is in the near future. The travel crates and suitcases are the closest things we have to furniture at the moment, so they are impossible to ignore.
Virginia has been a lovely place to call home this past year. We are so grateful for the chance to explore the East Coast and to visit so many people. If we did not get the chance to see you this year, we are sorry, and we invite you to visit us in Hawaii. We do not plan on coming back to the Mainland for at least a year, and our guest room fills up fast, so start planning your trips soon! I can already tell you that July 2009, Holiday 2009-2010, and July 2010 are booked.
See you on the beach!
