You have a start to your plan. I wouldn’t recommend filling up your two bedroom. We went down to a one bedroom so we have even less room. Don’t bring a lot.

After you go through it once, call an auctioneer or two and let them come out to assess what you have. Let them do as much work as they are willing to do. Believe me, it’s worth it. Don’t throw anything away until you have an auctioneer go through the stuff.

I did have my son and daughter go through before the auctioneer it they hardly took anything.

That sounds like very good advice. My husband told me that since we stay in a Studio in Honolulu all the time that we should start off with the stuff we have there as a model and add the necessary personal stuff, not the stuff we have in our 3 Bedroom house and try to cut back.

Yes, The retirement went well. The auction is all closed out and the house is empty. As soon as the put in the new carpet they can start showing it. It maybe done already.

They took my wife out after work and had some drinks. She ended going to the doctor again because she either has kidney stones Again or an infection. So she is not feeling her best but she is ready to be here.

She’s a little worried about making the trip by herself it she’ll be fine. My son took her to the hotel in Madison and took her out for a nice dinner.

She get to Honolulu at 12:45 and we leave at 2:45 so we should have enough time. Hope we don’t have to walk too far. That’s always her biggest issue. But once we’re at the gate she can relax. Its all easy from there.

I am going to get there early so I can find the way to Hawaiian Ohana from the United baggage claim.

I got out of work a couple hours early today so I’m getting ready too. Not too much to do except laundry. I am ready for tomorrow. I got her a nice lei with welcome her home. :)

Jeff, I'm so excited for you two. You've made incredible strides forward in a very short time. After your wife arrives, and gets settled, you two can really start that Island Living! :)

She made it through Denver! I heard last night on the news that this weekend is one of the busiest travel days in Hawaii and we should be at the airport three hours early. We only have an hour and a half when she lands. Hopefully we can make it. Otherwise we’ll change flights for later today or tomorrow and stay in Oahu for a day.

I got to the airport early to check things out. I had the Uber drop me off where we depart from. We leave out of terminal 1 and my wife comes in terminal two so I was able to take the Wiki Wiki shuttle and I got down to her baggage claim in 4 minutes.

I talked to the shuttle driver and she told me where to stand to get one back to the Hawaiian departures. We should be able to make it with the shuttle. Her flight is 10 minutes late from the last I saw.

Now I just have to wait, i’m Two hours early because I wanted to check it all out. So far so good. :)

Jeff, I think you're more nervous than a groom on his wedding day! Relax. It's all going to be fine. Go get a mai-tai, but just ONE! :)

Yes, I am.:) Especially so since I know she’s not feeling well. Once we’re all checked in, I’ll be good. Then I will have a Mai Tai but probably not just one. :thumbup:

Plus I’m bored sitting here waiting.:)

She made it. Our Molokai flight is delayed a little so we made it easy. We don’t even care about the delay. :)

With the plane delay to Molokai, I certainly didn’t have to worry about making it but we were on time.

We got to Molokai early enough to get some groceries at the Friendly Market and now we stopped at Paddlers for a quick bite before we head home. Paddler Fries and a Bacon Chicken Sandwich. Plus my wife had to have her Ling Hing Mui Margarita.

Wow, slept in this morning and I got a call from Young Brothers and my wife’s car was in and we could pick it up today if we got there by 11am. I was surprised for a Sunday especially on a holiday weekend. Anyway, we hopped in the shower and headed out to get it. They did a great job Again. It is in great shape.

We had to stop and get gas right away because it had to have under a quarter tank to ship it.

After that we stopped by Maka’s Corner for some breakfast to take home and eat on the lanai.

Teri Pork and Corned Beef Hash.

First morning has been great. Slight mist in the morning that ended about 8am and now for 89 and sunshine. The trades are blowing great and right through the condo. Couldn’t be nicer.

My wife lives driving her car here on Molokai. Gas was $5.04 here though. :)

We are really happy with our new windows and lanai door. They are excellent and both lock so easily. They stay open nicely and seal great.

Yes, exactly! I told my wife each time we come here now that it is returning home and it really feels like it. I felt it in May and that was before we knew all this was happening. Now it feels that way even more.
