Arrival

Yesterday we touched down at Lihue and have finally made the jump - on the Hawaii visitor questionnaire I checked the box for "prospective new residents moving to Hawaii". No further travel plans in the immediate future: we are here permanently. (Although nothing in life is ever really permanent, is it?)

Our things are in a forty foot container somewhere between the Seattle port and Nawiliwili port, probably a week or two away. We have a place to stay the next several nights and will be looking at furniture rental to set up the empty house we have rented for the interim as well as buying appliances.

Many other miscellaneous tasks:

• safety inspection and register the car
• order internet service
• get driver licenses
• change of addresses

All in all it is not particularly hard and moving to Kauai is not really different than anywhere else.

Today we are going to try and tackle the majority of this and then I hope get a day of rest and relaxation and then finish up things until the moving truck appears.

Everything has been going smooth as can be, and I don't think writing that jinxes anything at all.
