Aloha Furniture

Or should I say, "Aloha, furniture." Either way, we are living on some functional pieces of plastic-covered bamboo for the next few weeks while our furniture is heading to Europe on a boat.


After two days of mounds of boxes, piles of packing paper and tape, and swarms of flies (thanks to the open front door), the moving truck, with the wooden crates labeled "Lopez" loaded on board, left.

With the arrival of the Aloha furniture, we enter into a simpler time. Less stuff = less time spent on tasks = more time spent with people. We are also aware of the true beginning of the end of our time here in Hawaii. Just 24 days left. While there are still some tasks to be completed (shipping our mini-van, shipping our unaccompanied baggage, cleaning and clearing this house, and Patrick taking care of all the final work details of leaving this post), we are looking forward to enjoying these last days with dear friends. Bittersweet.

It is so much easier to say "Aloha" to the furniture.
