Last Friday (April 4th) we looked at 1 (ONE) apartment in the town of Waikoloa Village and knew that it was for us! We signed the lease, and moved in on Sunday. It is in a complex of privately owned condos called Waikoloa Villas, and ours is a ground floor one-bedroom, one-bathroom with a lanai and outdoor wet bar owned by a gentleman in Arizona who also owns a house on the island. These condos were built in 1979, and this particular one does show it’s age a bit, but it is really nice and feels great to us. We have a washer and dryer and a dishwasher, and there is a complex pool that is about a 20-foot straight-shot from our lanai. If we walk to the other side of the pool we can see the sunset over the ocean…amazing! Check out the “virtual tour” pictures if you’re interested…
On another note, Michael started working today (Tuesday), and I’m still looking and waiting on some interviews. I have another interview tomorrow with the Hilton as a beverage server, so we’ll see if it’s the one! I really need to find something soon, and would love to be in the Waikoloa Resort area (where the Hilton and Marriott are, as well as two large shopping centers) so we can carpool easily and not have to drive too far.
It feels really good to be in our own place now, although it was a little sad to leave Hilo and all of the people we have met and made friends with so far; however, we are looking forward to all of the new people we will meet here and all of the new places to explore. We found a small beach this morning and went swimming and sunning for a bit. There weren’t very many people there, and we had a fun time. We drove by another beach on our way home that we’re going to check out tomorrow morning before Michael goes to work at 1.
So, that’s it for now! We love hearing from you all, so please write a comment on here or shoot us an email and let us know how you are all doing. Love and blessings to you!
