Postcard from Poppy and a package...

 If you recall from yesterday's post I told you my poppy was leaving me for a short time. 
 Poppy packed his 2 large suitcases and headed down the road. 

You see, Poppy is headed  to his new job. With today's technology he sent us this postcard.
This is from somewhere in New Mexico.  He is going to visit my grandpeeps before putting the car on the "car cruise ship" in California.
On the road in New Mexico

Now I'm going to change things up just a bit, but believe me it will make sense in the end
Schatzie and I received this package a few days ago from our friends at Go Pet Friendly.com .In the package we found this really cool calendar featuring Ty and Buster. They are famous for all their travels and have this awesome website helping peeps traveling with pets. This is going to be very helpful when we make our move in July. The website will help you determine the best places to stay, visit and routes to take when traveling with you special four legged friends. It also lists great places for TREATS--I love treats!
(So go check out this website...your pet will love you for it.)


 Look here's a photo of Ty and Buster...

 So how did we win this wonderful calendar??? Some of you know our friend SUGAR. She used to live on Maui and Go Pet Friendly had a contest. The contest wanted us to identify the place where SUGAR was hanging loose.We knew it was a beach near Black Rock on the west end of Maui---and we won!!

Now back to our move....


Have you guessed where we're going to move??

Here's a hint....

 Yes, we're  moving back to Hawaii....Mom's been working on all the necessary paperwork and vet visits. Schatzie and I are now half way through our 120 day at home quarantine. Last time we went to Hawaii we flew from Denver and it took FOREVER.  Mom and Poppy decided instead of us all flying from the middle of the country, we are going to drive to the coast and get on the big flying machine there. By doing that we won't have such a long time in our traveling kennels--plus we'll get to see more of the country  and you can bet we're going to be using the GO Pet Friendly.com website.

 Guess what island we're going to be living on????
Schatzie and I are thinking of becoming  island tour guides like SUGAR was for MAUI!!
hmmm....there's another hint (it's NOT Maui)

Do you think we'd make good tour guides??


***Special Note***
I'm guessing our friend Ron at Shutterbugs capturing the world just fell on the floor.
 Yes Ron, you're welcome to visit and don't forget your camera :)

    What day do your arrive? I will be there the very next day!!!! LOL

    Now I am very envious and jealous!! We just can't seem to make that commitment to go and stay, mainly because of the grand kids.

    If I don't see you before, we will be back on Maui in January, arriving on the 10th and staying for two weeks. Save me some banana bread! (and I ALWAYS have my camera!)

    Woof! Woof! WOW! Val and family its exciting. Hope you guys are doing well in your home state quarantine. Did your get help from the clinic we suggested? it's easy once you land on the island. But definitely a road trip first will be soooo much fun. If you are flying from LA they are pet friendly. I hope your choice of airline is good, it is a 4 hour ride. I was very fortunate to ride in the plane so make sure you guys are well hydrated. Wish you all the best on your move. Looking forward on our tours. I do miss the beach and swimming in the ocean ... Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar

    Very exciting! My hubs dreams of moving to Maui! (I mean, San Diego is not bad... but he wants to swim in the ocean everyday and he's a cold water wimp! It's too cold for him here.)

    Very smart to drive to the coast and then fly. It's so worrisome to do a long flight with a pup!

    OMD I am sooooo jealous!!! Heck, I'm even jealous of the road trip!! I found that traveling from Houston to St. Louis was a cake walk with Max! He's an excellent road tripper but the hotels are all soooo much better about pups! How exciting!!! Congrats!!!

    We're gonna check out that website you suggested. We'll be hitting the road to head home to NY from FL in 4 weeks so we're always looking for good travel tips.
