Well, I found a cuppa 100% Royal Kona coffee (vanilla macadamia nut flavoured; black) for buck. Yum. They also sell packets for under a buck for hotel coffee makers. I'm thinking about it, but why? I only want twelve ounces at least once a day. It keeps the headache away, you see.
The little shop also sells hot dogs. We all had lunch for $8. Alright!
We are going to check out some places in Kailua . . . but in all seriousness, we'll likely be living month to month (up to three months) in a 29th floor furnished flat. It's two rooms and two baths and a nice kitchen/living space. It will be expensive relatively speaking, but we'll just be able to do it. In the long run, it is more cost effective to rent that place than to stay in the hotel here. Eating out is really killing the budget. The downside is: Hols will have to stay with our sponsor until we move into housing. Poor Hols, poor us, and poor sponsor. I mean, it does put some out . . . we have to be sure that it's not putting our sponsor out. And, we'll have to make arrangements to see her frequently so she doesn't forget us!
The thing is, we are not on holiday here. We are residents trying to find a place to live . . . so we are seeing this place from that angle. We will sight see as much as we are able, but for the most part, we are focused on finding a roof, yeah? Anyway, there's a link to my O'ahu blog on the upper right side . . . a place where I will share where we go visit and sight see. I'll update as often as I can with those things.
Aloha!

I can hear how much you're wanting to be settled, wanting to take that deep breath...prayers.
On another topic, yet similar, I have a friend who moved to the Baltimore area. She feels unsettled in that she is yet to connect with a church, parish, priest that feels "orthodox" to her, that will fight the good fight without apology. Any recommendations?
I love your little update each day. Your descriptions are great! I will pray to St Joseph for you to find a home, I'm sure it's so hard and lots is being offered up!
It will all work out soon. God bless.
JMJ - If she's downtown Baltimore, there's the Holy Rosary Church (Polish immigrants built it and it's the place where the priest received healing/second miracle for the canonization of St. Faustina) . . . If she's in Bowie/Odenton area, she may want to really look at Sacred Heart (even if she is driving 45 minutes out of her way, there's a place she wants to call "home" as they are spot on). And, on that, I may suggest you contact (my side bar) Maurisa (Half a Dozen Productions) and/or A Blessed Life (Cassie) . . . There's always the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception to have Mass and Confessions . . . but you need a home parish and those are the ones I've been to that are good.
Oh, yeah, in Millersville there is another parish called Our Lady of the Fields . . . it's "good enough" . . . and they have a great home school group where she will meet some from other area parishes that may be able to lead her to a parish she's looking for.
Very kind of you, as always, Sarah.
On behalf of my friend, Josie, thanks!
Praying for settling soon!!!
Hula hoo hoo! Tough about the animal situation, but other than that..you're all together. :)
