Travels, Return to Hawaii, 2009

Click on any of the little pictures to see it at normal size. Click on the '=0=' after the picture to see it in giant size (about 2 minutes to download on dialup connection and larger than screen size). This could be useful if you wanted to really look at one part of the picture or to make a print.

If you enter the corporate housing where I am staying, on your left you will see this view of the dining room. If you walked into the dining room, the view of the kitchen is shown below. Also below there is the view of the kitchen if you walked through the kitchen to the living room (and looked back).	=0=

This is the view of the living from the far end with the kitchen to the left as well as the hallway (back to the front door and to the stairs). Below are pictures from my bedroom. There are four, each pretty ordinary with three full baths (and a half bath downstairs).	=0=

The military housing came unfurnished, but Carl had found the furniture (and silverware, pots, pans, dishware, etc.). It is quite comfortable. There are a lot of units of military housing that are privately leased, called 'the Waterfront at Pu'uloa'. On Saturday, June 13, they had a party a the beach, an Appreciation day. I walked there (about 15 minutes). Below is a picture of the housing (lots of community lawns, small private patios and yards, and lots of nice trees). Also below is the view of the beach as you walk toward it.	=0=

Above is the road just before the beach along with the Appreciation Day sign. The community has a really nice beach, also shown above. They had several activities including a dunk the staff member with the staff in the blue T-shirts. The staff members seem pretty nice and helpful, but not as close as the staff at Autumn Chase (but this is a larger community and more transient in nature (created temporarily to handle excess military housing)).	=0=

In Hawaii I have noticed that there are loads of moving trucks like this which are flat bed trucks with large shipping crates on them (like the one which I stored my stuff in). On consdieration that makes sense. A standard moving van is used to move many long moves within continental U.S., but in Hawaii any long move would need to go by ship (between islands or to the mainland) and it is truck like these that you see around Hawaii for most any move.	=0=
The movers load the shipping crates via a ramp after taking the 'front' off of each shipping crate as shown here.	=0=
