We have finally moved to Kailua-Kona and it has been a busy five weeks that we’ve been “on island” so far. Our to-do list has been quite long in order to clean up the house and the Ohana (guest house), do some work on the yard and settle in with cars, some community events and starting to find our way around the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had some bad news before we even landed as it seemed that there were some issue with getting the Ute registered in Hawaii even though it had been titled and registered in both Colorado and Washington. Sure enough even after I made a personal representation to the DMV, the state refused to register it (it didn’t have a Federal safety sticker on the door jamb) and so it had to be sent back to the mainland to be sold. What I find ludicrous is the number of obviously very unsafe vehicles that continue to registered in Hawaii – I’m not bitter really \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the good news front, Alice’s new Jeep was waiting for us and it looks very cool – and orangey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a traumatic flight over, Josie the cat has settled into the Hawaii lifestyle. She has lost wait and is very alert due to the bird life and the various new sights, sounds and smells. She is also quite the efficient cockroach hunter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
