Yup - isn't that crap? I would basically have to move either: to Turkey, onto Hawaii (without any help with my husband, and the dogs? They would have to probably stay here with a friend until the rabies vaccine went through, which I don't think I could handle), onto the "economy" (which means I would get a place in town). Everything but the moves to Turkey or Hawaii would be paid for by ME. What makes me crazy is that it would be cheaper for the air force to keep us here then to move all of our things to Turkey, THEN move them to Hawaii. It doesn't make any sense.

Things are looking up though. Because I am in pool physical therapy for my hip I will probably be able to stay since that, most likely, isn't available in Turkey (the women of AF people have to give birth in German hospitals because of the high threat to Americans in Turkish medical buildings) -- so, I have my fingers crossed. I should know for sure what is happening in the next few weeks. BLAH!

Hi AIMEE!! My husband and I were stationed there and LOVED it!!!
You will come back to the mainland with so many great stories. I actually feel Hawaii is where my heart belongs now. We were there for 3 years and I cant say enough good things about the locals there.

I did have my cocker spaniel when we went..I didnt have as much notice as you and even though he was upto date on everything he was quarentined fot the 5 MONTHS

we visited him everyday we could and brought him his favorites ,but I cried everytime we left him. The quaurentine is a kennel outside with rows of like kennels behind a gate ..you open it up and you can visit with your dog ..( there is a bench inside) we played with him and gave him love through out. He was a big furball by the time he came home..needed to be groomed..but other than that he was just fine.

Since you have so much time just be sure your girls have EVERYTHING done the way they want it.

We were stationed at Pearl Harbor and we could have waited for the new housing ..but we decided on a EWA beach housing which was the name of the complex was Iriquois Navy Housing. It was a house !! 4 bedrooms ..we only have a 1 child so we had 2 extra rooms.

I could go on and on about how great it was there..cant ya tell I miss it.
You will love it ..everyone had told me the schools were horrible..but we found that to be not so true..my son LOVED his school and the teachers..
I'm so excited for you!!

How cool! It's so great to talk to people who have been there! My sister and brother-in-law were also at Pearl Harbor, I spent a summer with them when I was in 4th grade and LOVED it! We'll be at Hickam, which isn't too far from the harbor, I'm told.

I'm so glad you guys had a great time! I know that we will love it!

quick question, what are Sandy's health conditions? i will definitely say a prayer---it really does work! take care and good luck w/ everything!

aimee · 04-21-2005, 01:45 PM

Sandy has quite a few health problems. The biggest thing I am worried about is she has what I like to call a "nervous condition" - when she gets scared, nervous, or sick, her fur starts falling out in clumps. She also has a bad leg (won't walk on it) and the beginnings of cataracts - nothing major major, but enough to where I worry about putting her through any kind of stress.

Thank you for your prayers - I really appreciate them!

Wow Aimee, or should I say "Aloha?" You must be so excited! I've never been to Hawaii, but would love to some day! I am happy for you! I hope this great news helps you get through the time your husband is away! What a new experience you will be having. Have you ever been there before? As far as your house...I thought the military was so family oriented! That is terrible if they are saying you can't stay put where you are and I will be praying that you can stay! Best wishes...you lucky ducky!

That is so exciting! I read the website you posted, but I still don't really understand the quarantine process. Anyone want to explain?
