Almost Done With Missouri

The movers came for my car yesterday. I'm renting a car until I leave Monday morning. The cleaners came by this morning and got the place cleaned up well before noon. This afternoon the carpet cleaner will be here and that's pretty much the last thing I have to have done before I leave. I plan on going to visit my folks in Shell Knob for one last time Saturday. Then Sunday I have a couple of people coming by to pick up the last of the things I have. My new internet connection will be hooked up in Hawaii on Friday. So I can start blogging again then. If I don't post between now and then, aloha !

The Move Is On

The movers came and got my things today. I'm waiting on the guys to take my car. They called around noon and said they were just past the Pennsylvania/Ohio line. I don't expect to see them until tomorrow. At any rate, my media server is in route so there won't be any pictures here until it arrives in Hawaii and I set it back up. Me and the cats leave Monday morning. If I don't post before then, Aloha !

Moving

I will shut down my media server tomorrow.
I have to ship it to Hawaii.
It will be a month or so before my server gets to Hawaii and all media (pictures, movies, songs) are back up and running.
CYA then ! Aloha !

Move To Hawaii

I will be moving to Hawaii this month.
Service for my media server will be shut off on 09/24/2008 and I will need to rebuild the links once I'm there. It should take a month before my computer equipment arrives in Hawaii, so none of my media (pictures, movies and music) will work until then. Thanks for your patronage and I look forward to serving you again ASAP.

Aloha !

My Apartment

I found a nice apartment in Miliani.
It's easy to find. Take exit seven off the H2 and keep making rights until there's a wall in front of you. Then take a left. There she be !
It's tucked away in a valley with a creek running below my lanai (balcony).
It has all new everything. Here's some pics.

Looking back into the kitchen from the family room. Washer, dryer, dishwasher, the works ! I stocked the fridge with beer and coffee before I left. I also bought a coffee pot.

Here I am in the kitchen.

A view of the family room and the lanai. What's nice is the two guest rooms are to the left with their own full bath. The master bedroom is off to the right. So guests will have some privacy (me too). Also the building is all cinder block. No noise and no worries for the once-a-century hurricane.

The trees are eleven stories tall.

The creek is very tranquil. I'll look forward to coming home to this place.

I picked up a cell phone yesterday so I'd have a local number. Tomorrow I'll pick up supplies like an inflatable mattress, bedding, toiletries, cat food, cat bowls, litter box and litter. Oh and beer ! I'll also get my drivers license.

Hawaii Hotel

Well I finally got to my hotel. It was a bitch to get to because they were having a parade and shut down some streets which backed up traffic on all the other streets. At first they put me on the sixth floor, which is cool. But then I kept hearing this base music that wouldn't stop. It turned out they put me right over the bar. The bar doesn't close until 2:00 AM. So I got another room on the twenty-first floor on the other side of the building. Here's some pics of the view.

I went across the street to buy some beer. No MGD but they had Corona so I bought that. Got back to the hotel and found out the bottles weren't twist off. (sigh) back down to go back to the store and buy a bottle opener. Seems like half this trip is waiting for or riding in elevators. Oh well, the beer's cold. I took a dip in the ocean. It's like bath water, with salt. It's beautiful here.

I Ran Into Kathy In Denver

I was hanging out at The Smoker's Lounge in Denver International Airport and was about to leave to catch my flight when I spotted Kathy. She sat to my left at Mercy. We were able to chat a bit and share a drink. We joked before that we'd wave at each other as our flights passed, but who would've thought we'd get to see each other waiting for connecting flights ? I had to leave before I wanted because of my flight to Hawaii. As it was I was the last onboard and they closed the plane door behind me. Whew ! That was close ! It was great to see her. Maybe we'll run across each other again sometime.
