The Journey Begins




Our Home in South China, Me.








The time has finally come, all the preparations have been made. Our shipping container loaded with everything in it we will need to build this new life is on it's way and we have been saying goodbye to the many that share in our excitement of this great adventure. We must admit that every goodbye we said and heard was heartfelt and we only hoped that more time was available on our part to get to those we missed. To those we missed, Our Warmest Alohas to you and hope one day to see you all again.

We are headed for San Diego to leave our vehicle with Pasha Shipping Company, they will take it to the Big Island on the 29th, our scheduled drop off time is the 24th at noon. From San Diego we travel via rental car to LAX to catch out flight out on the 26th of april at 9:15 am. we will arrive in Kona at 11:54 am and be greeted by the vet who will check in our dog Akua, aka Miss Lucy Retardo. From there it is off to Puna and Hawaiian Acres.










The boom truck owned and operated by

Jock Laselle Pittsfield, Me.

Jock amazingly accomplished this daring feat without incident

Matson Shipping Co. was able to drive under and Jock lowered the container one end at a time onto the chassis. A 90 min. job !! Thanks Jock

In looking at the photo of your home in South China, is that Akela I see resting on the lawn in front? I'd recognize those big brown eyes and nose anywhere!! She looks mighty comfortable!
