Hey d!
I think you're about 4000 miles short of your mark aren't ya? I thought you were going to end up at Hickam. Then you wouldn't have to worry about driving. Just ship the cars and fly. But then again you would only be able to buy a garage and bathroom with the way housing prices are over here.
Blessings to you and the family.
S&C s & c, I tried my brother. No offense to the Texans here but Hawaii sounded more appealing, plus I like poi and lomi salmon. Orchid: Hickam? Hey that's just down the road from us....well a few miles anyways.

D, s & c,
I tried my brother. No offense to the Texans here but Hawaii sounded more appealing, plus I like poi and lomi salmon. Well I'm having lunch today at "Helena's" with some people I used to work with. Real "ono" Hawaiian food. Laulau, Lomi Salmon, Pipikaula, Kalua Pig, Poi and Haupia (Oh, you can't forget the rice). Are you sure you want to go to Texas? Maybe we'll just need to find a way to get that stuff up to you huh? Later'z. Bless ya'll. S&C

So Mel - since you know wet/dry trivia - where does someone from Tyler go to get proper fluids?
How about Rowlett?
Abilene?
San Marcos? (can you say "beer barn"?)
Oh - by the way - I can buy Baileys AND Seagrams at the GROCERY STORE now.
answers:
coffee city
mobile city
abilene
san marcos And where does a person in Coffee City go to get a good cup of coffee?? Starbucks in Tyler! For Tyler beer, what about Winona or Gregg county line out on Hwy 31 towards Kilgore?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Baptist boy here never made the trip for vital fluids - but drove the area for years delivering to auto parts stores and doing jobs for churches. But if the company is good- heck why not choose the longer, more fun trip. I love the scenery in east Texas. hey! who's thread is this??????

S&C Well I haven't had good K-pig or haupia since I came back. Been too busy working and chowing down on the likes of FF places like Locomocos. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Gotta go check out Helena's. That's on School Street, right? L.

Hey Orchid, Well I haven't had good K-pig or haupia since I came back. Been too busy working and chowing down on the likes of FF places like Locomocos.
Gotta go check out Helena's. That's on School Street, right? Yep! But you gotta get there before 11am. Not much parking and it fills up by lunch time. The portions have gotten smaller, but you can always order ala carte. I think "Young's Fish Market" in Kalihi has bigger protions and better laulau. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> But if you can't find parking you can go across the street to Mitsuken's for the Garlic Fried Chicken. Real ono. But if you eat it you smell like garlic for a couple of days. So when I eat there, I make sure my wife gets some too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> S&C

I havne't tried it yet but looks ono. dat's what I missed about Hawaii.....food,family,sea and flowers. ;D Now I have it all but no moola. LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Better give this thread back to the STB Texas boy! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> L.

Thanks for all the talk about Hawaii, it's making the transition much smoother.
I'm still trying to "work" the system. Not so much because I don't want to go to Texas, moreso because I don't want to leave here.
Just like Orchid and s&c talk about their eateries, man I would miss El Cap (great neighborhood bar w/ killer burgers) and the Casual Clam's crab cakes. I like it that I can ride my bike to work over the water and see dolphins swimming in the bay.
My drive is east-west, so I get the sunrise on the way to work and the sunset on the way home.
I like my lanai (covered porch) and the lake with the gators in it. Nothing against TX but I like it where I'm at.
can I get a terry-loco plate to go?
God Bless,
Doug

Well, I'm in lovely Wichita Falls now. There are a lot of trucks here.
The drive from Florida was o.k. for me but a little stressful on the dog. Seems that she doesn't like cars being behind us on the road so there was a lot of barking.
I guess this isn't as bad as I expected. Finding a place to live was a little difficult but I did get one.
The hardest part is that my family is still in florida for a few more months. It's hard on my lovely wife, by herselp, with a 9 year old and a six week old. I miss them terribly.
I'm still trying to pull some strings and get back there but it looks like It will take untill 2007 before that will happen.
I don't know how people do marriages where they are separated from their spouse. It sucks being apart from her.
If there is ever a TX MB get together let me know...I've got free time.

Welcome home DR.
You're still a mite too far North, but you can't help that! I hear up in WF they even get that cold, white fuzzy stuff that falls out of the sky sometimes.
Sorry the wife and young'uns are seperated from you right now. Hope they get home real soon!
