Aloha. Named Pamela also, so I use my nick name Aka P. A. Mella. Born in San Francisco and raised thru ought the USA, San Francisco, Patuxent River Maryland, Tacoma Washington and lived on Kodiak Island in Alaska before it was a state. I’m a gypsy born and raised. Most but not all of my education was received in the Bay Area. I am older than Pam Lamont, and Pam Jonsey and younger than a few others!
I am on the third reincarnation of my life, and am so happy that this incarnation may one day bringing us to the BI. It’s said when you loose your parents, you loose your past, when you loose your spouse you loose your present and when you loose your children you loose your future. Life has a way of throwing tough curve balls and it is the great equalizer as one day we all pass on. Life also has a way of teaching us what is precious.
Gene and I met in Florence Oregon. Gene is a Portland native, but I won’t tell his story (although moss does grow on the north side of his nose, and he is very easy on my eyes). We met in July 98 and married on another small but quaint island in late 1999, Avalon, 26 miles across the sea, Santa Catalina, California. We had a wonderful courtship and now have a peaceful and quiet life with three kitties in northern California about 85 miles north east of Sacramento.
Until 2004 it never occurred to me that I could live in Hawaii if I truly wished it. I had visited in 84, 86, 90 and 2004. Another life altering event and Gene assured me that we could live anywhere we choose, as we do not live large and we have reasonable needs. We will be living in Eden Roc one day. We are hoping the builders get a little break in the frenzy before we attempt to build. Well it is that or a LARGE Tent! We’ll see. In the mean time we will be visiting, chatting, and looking forward to hearing about your adventures and sharing our own one day.
Looking forward to meeting each of you in due time. If you are in Eden Roc, you’ll recognize me, I’ll be the gray I mean blond woman terrorizing my neighbors riding on the purple beast, a 1999 sportster. Be alert, and very afraid!
Mahalo for this thread Punagirl such a grand idea. Mahalo for all who contribute their ideas, knowledge and humor and a sense of welcome, and how to avoid some of those bumps in the road. Life is a journey not a destination. Aloha Mella L

Unfortunately our pets, Bengal cats, once listed as approved animals with the state, and then removed from the list (just as we were doing final vet health certificates), as prohibited and banned hybrids. Our relocation is now in limbo. Been working with the state since 6/06, our conditional permit request for two spayed and neutered older Bengal cats is in limbo for further study. The most numerous pedigreed cat in the USA is not allowed into Hawaii currently, TICA 2007 66,000 domestic Bengal cats.
