First Stop Navy Lodge

The movers came last Thursday to start packing us out. They finished by Friday and Brian and I are now homeless with no street address. We are currently staying at the Navy Lodge on Ford Island in Hawaii of course and have 4 more days left. Wow, can't believe it is coming to an end so soon.

Moe, the cat has adjusted pretty well. He had a vet appointment yesterday morning and his health certificate reads a clean bit of health! After his appointment I had to kill several hours before hotel check-in. I had lunch with a friend, picked up my race packet for my sprint triathlon on Sunday, and then finally tried to check in the hotel a bit early. No can do said the receptionist! So Moe and I sat in the truck with a nice breeze blowing through overlooking Pearl Harbor for an hour. It was kind of nice to just sit and relax for once. I did talk to my Mom for almost that full hour as well. I'm looking forward to seeing her and my family!

We finally get checking in, taking almost 35 minutes just to get my room. I had four huge suitcases one being a sea bag weighing sixty something pounds. As I wheel my cart past the front desk I ask where is my elevator to my room, her response was "oh there is no elevator for your room"! I then begin lugging the suitcases and not too long after Brian shows up to the hotel and helps me out! NO elevator! What kind of crap was that!

We unloaded and got organized and Moe finally got to check out the room. Cats are very curious creatures and must seek out all ends of the room. The hotel has nice big window sills for him to view the outdoors. He now sleeps soundly knowing one, he is not going anywhere and two he is safe with his mama and papa!


Our first night here I went out with my girlfriends for dinner and some dancing. I haven't been to a club in a long while and it was more fun people watching than it was to dance. I am so happy that I have Brian and don't have to date anymore. It seems really scary these days! Brian went out with his friend and played some darts and had a few beers. We slept in a bit and had some coffee this morning and now on day 2 here at the Navy Lodge!
