Retailers in Hilo or Puna...

[Carolann R]

Thanks Royall, Mella and Carey...sure do appreciate the info. Like I said, won't be on BI until probably September...there's a funny sorta story - we are remodeling and have arched many of our doorways...we have a queen sized bed and never realized that after the arch was done at the bottom of the staircase that we wouldn't be able to fit our boxspring thru and and so now we have to chop it up before we leave!!! We can bend the matress, but no luck with the boxspring! It's kinda okay though, we're about due for a new set. We have a big ol' victorian bed frame and it's one of the only items of furniture we ARE bringing...luckily we were able to break it down. We have sold most of our things but my mom has one of the unmercifully heavy little craftmatic beds...she needs it due to her health and a recent below-the-knee amputation. That has to come along with a small table and chair set and one dresser, one chest of drawers, desk, computer...and last BUT NOT LEAST my husband's tool boxes - he's a master diagnostic tech for Toyota in North Scottsdale. Needs the tools...that will probably cost more to ship alone than anything else we have - just a bunch of boxes of clothes, household, etc. We are nearing the finish line here and I realize more than ever that to realize a dream means much effort and the ability to let go of all those things we spent so many hours working for that we never really needed. Mahalo guys! Can't wait to meetcha!
