Aloha all!
I've been in and out of this forum for a year or so - and we are finally finally making our arrangements to get to the lovely island of Hawai'i.
I am making a guess that some of you may have had the same logistics complications that I have:
1. Pets (an elderly dog, 2 lazy cats, 2 tiny birds)
2. Housing (see #1)
3. Transport (see #1)
We are looking for a house to rent that will allow them. I have found a few (we have a budget up to 2K/month). Everyone is cleared for quarantine and is ready to go.
Logistics issue #1: We are flying from the US east coast and we don't normally get to HNL until 2:30 or so in the afternoon. The prospect of clearing quarantine, getting interisland to Hilo, getting a mini-van, and driving to an unknown lo action in the pitch dark of Hawai'i is sub-optimal. We've thought about staying on Oahu for a day to a week, but where to put pets??? Has anyone here flown that kind of schedule with critters, and if so, what was your approach?
Logistics issue #2: Our dog is in a very large crate, and we have 3 more medium sized crates of pets as well. They fill a minivan. And although we are traveling light, we will have full suitcases as well. Any suggestions on how to get from airport to accommodations? Again, anyone with such an issue before?
Logistics issue #3: Any advice on how to find short-term housing for us with pets? I have read other posts about it - Humane society pages, and that sort of thing.....it is a desperate plea. We need a fairly flexible lease so that when we buy a house, we can move into it!
Mahalo for your insights- I very much appreciate them! This is the realization of a dream we have worked towards DAILY since we were married 5 years ago on Kauai. I created my business in such a way that not only would I not need to take a job in Hawai'i, but that I can create at least one for someone else---all for this time right now. We are very excited - we have been working very hard for a long time on this, so insights are SO VERY MUCH appreciated.
(As far as the business goes, I'd be happy to give insight there if you want to PM me with Qs.)
