The Waiting Game

Our purchase of the vacant lot in Hawi is held up at the title company over the release of an old mortgage on the property. So we wait. We're dying to get up there and start surveying and hacking away at the overgrown bushes and trees, but there's no point until we actually own the property. 

We leave for Japan on February 14th (a nice Valentine's Day present, eh?) so we're hoping this gets resolved before then. We're also hoping the winter clothes being shipped from home get here before we leave. We're going to need them in Japan, where it will be 30 to 40 degrees cooler than here. The clothes were shipped a month ago and have been stuck in Honolulu since January 29th. Apparently they don't send them over to the outer islands until the shipping container is full. So we wait. Tamar has a few things we can borrow for our Japanese winter, but some last minute shopping may be in order if that box doesn't get here soon. Not that Deborah will complain about having to do more clothes shopping, but I will. 

And now for something completely different...
