After some back and forth with the airlines, Sidney and I have reservations to leave at 6am on the 22nd, so the last minute flurry has begun. I have errands to run and of course the final packing of the suitcase.

I’ve got a list of places to rent all ready and will begin hitting those the morning after I arrive. Some good friends have a nice completely furnished place in Kona I’m going to look at and I’ll bunk with a friend for a few days. There is certainly no shortage of rentals right now and prices are actually quite reasonable. I’m feeling quite good about renting for a while and not rushing into buying a place. That will give us a chance to catch our breath and adjust to the new adventure, and decide what area we want to settle down in.

My next post will likely be from Hawaii.
