Re-establishing Home

 A few repairs were needed before we could move in.

I learned that a water filter was needed for the shower, in addition to the waterheater.

For the first few weeks we camped out, while waiting for our furniture to arrive.  Even Dalia had to rough it as she waited for her giant litter box.

The packers generously emptied every box before leaving, so there was no living with boxes... and for a while there was no open surface area either.

The new home craft room/office has the best view.

Learning to cohabitate the street with the 30 cat neighbors.

Personal touches were added.

Sunsets were enjoyed from the top floor.

Dalia enjoys watching all the neighbor kids play in the street.

ahhh.... more sunsets.

The new place was thoroughly inspected.

Moths came to visit.

A bird moved in next to the A/C.

Dalia was shocked at the ladder. Unfortunately the ladder did not reach and they ended up removing the bird nest and trying to patch the water leak from the window.

Moving to Manila

It took month prepping all the papers and prepping. Including relearning how a cat uses a crate when traveling.

Furniture was brought in from the office, and that is when Dalia knew...

Large items tags

Small items boxed

Loaded into the truck

Just the cat and the dust bunnies were left by the movers.

Flying to Bangkok for Dalia's export papers.  Dalia traveled Cargo

With cat and human paperwork in hand, we are ready to fly to the Philippines

Arrived safely.
