Waiting for Wednesday

Well, we have officially moved out of our apartment here in Hawaii. We are currently staying with a friend who doesn't have cable, or any form of TV, so its driving B a little crazy not being able to watch his sports. Only a few more things to do before we leave for the mainland. We have to take Sam to the airport and have him shipped off on Tuesday and that's pretty much it. Not much else left for us to do here in Hawaii, we've pretty much done it all. Tomorrow B has to work most of the day doing some final sign out stuff, and then on Tuesday he goes in for 1 hour, and then he is off for a month. Which is exciting.

We fly into Dallas where we will be hopefully able to pick up our truck (fingers crossed), then drive down to Houston to pick up a few things, then we are road tripping it to North Carolina. Not sure if we will stop and do some sight seeing along the way, I hope we will but I guess it depends on the weather as much as anything else.

So I guess I will write again before we leave Hawaii, might have a few final pictures to post.

Upcoming Moving Day

Well, moving day is just 3 days away... We don't leave Hawaii for another week but our household goods are being picked up in 3 days time. I am so excited to finally be moving on. It is so chaotic getting everything into some sort of order for the movers. I've started dusting and cleaning all of the frames/pictures that were/are hanging on the wall. I didn't realise how many I actually have until I took them all down and started cleaning them. Yesterday alone I cleaned 20 photo frames. Today I've cleaned close to 10... and I still have more to go. I have to start packing our luggage and washing everything that needs to be cleaned before we move... so much to do!!!

We had to buy a new kennel for Sam the other day... and let me tell you it is the biggest kennel that I have ever seen. We had rented a Jetta because our car is being shipped to the mainland, and B thought it would fit in the trunk/boot even though I had measured it and said that it would in NO WAY fit!!! So he tried anyway, and what do you know... it didn't fit. So we had to call someone to come and help us bring it back home. So now we just have to figure out how to get it to the airport on Tuesday for his flight. He is going to have quite the journey, and he hates being in the kennel.

So now I have to get back to cleaning out draws, cupboards and closets, as well as taking down all the pictures off the wall. I'll post again with photos of the mess that will be this coming Friday.
