So, we just got word of our transfer to Hawaii. Not sure of any specifics yet, but we know it will not be until after July. My husband is still in training and his program does not end until July 8, 2011. But, wow, we are moving to Pearl Harbor, HI. This is kind of really cool. I am afraid for Hamlet though. He might not do to well in the heat. But, with proper A/C he should be fine. Might not be able to move him until after October because of the heat. We will deal with it. I have so much to think about now. So much to do. House has to be fixed up. House has to be cleaned. House has to be sold or rented. Need to find a new house to live. But, Hawaii. I guess it is such a romantic place. At least in all the movies and photographs. I hope it is close to that. Of course, I grew up watching Magnum, P.I. so in my head, THAT is what I think Hawaii will be like. Oh, wouldn't that be nice to have Tom Selleck to be my neighbor? Or my house guest?
Anyway, so after DH is done w/ his training, hopefully, we will take a family vacation. Then, maybe have some time to be with each other before the big move. That would be nice, right?
So, here are my other questions/concerns...
Will our family come and visit? I guess we will see them about as often as we do now.
Can we afford housing there? Looks like we will be spending about 50% more on housing than we do now. But, I think we get COLA that should offset the money issues.
I hear the school system is a joke there. Well, we will not be there for so many years that it will make a difference. The girls and I will learn other ways.
Is there much of a Jewish community there? I hear there is a synagogue on base. I guess that will be our best option. I will miss the JCC and Iliana will miss her friends. We will have to find some mommy groups.
Oh well, the wee one is awake and screaming.
