Our Homes Away From Home

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii

The first Lihue, Hawaii housing was brand new and really nice - except for being hot and began with no air conditioning.  It was very "bare bones."  But, we can do anything for four weeks.

However, we were glad the four weeks in this apartment was up, and we were going back to Texas. SURPRISE!  As soon as we got back to Texas, Kauai called and wanted us back!  Our next housing - which we ended up in for almost a year - was much better.



Then it was on to Danville, Virginia and our farmhouse in the middle of a tobacco field with wildlife visiting daily - including a black bear one day!  (YES!)  This place is available for days or weekends, weeks or months.  You can get more information about this housing at healthier2morrow@gmail.com


There is a fully furnished, great kitchen, shower/bath, living room, den, high-speed internet, cable TV, all kinds of critters:  a resident ground hog, squirrels, rabbits, deer, wild turkey, (one bear), and more kinds of birds than I've ever seen in a single place swarming the bird feeder.

From Virginia we have come to Walla Walla, Washington.  It's like living in the Tyler Rose Garden!


And talk about fully furnished!  This is better cookware than I have at home!



Sitting on the patio we also have a view of the Blue Mountains.



So, housing is always a surprise, but they've always been good surprises for us.  The first two places were provided by our agencies; the last two places I found on line at Craig's List and VRBO (Vacation Rentals By Owner).  I've found that folks are willing to listen to the parameters our agencies give us to work by, and sometimes things are negotiable.
