So I'm freakin' out...
I'm real quiet on these boards... but I like to think someone might befriend me so here goes...
My gf and I are moving to Oahu in 13 days. I think the stress is getting to me cuz my eye has been twitching and I can't sleep. My gf says to relax and that everything will be cool, but my head just breaks the whole situation down over and over. So, that being said, I was wondering if I could throw my situation to this board and hopefully get a response... (Note: There have been many previous threads that I have read and got some great advice and I'm very thankful
)
Firstly:
Via my gf, her uncle said we could stay with them for a couple of months, but we haven't really gone over the "specifics" he just said "Get here already". So I can't decide if it's the haole in me freakin out, or if I should not worry cuz its a "family thing" where everyone will always take care of eachother(which I'm ALWAYS down for lovin' everybody). He did make a reference to her that "don't worry, you have LOTS of family here". Any thoughts?
Secondly:
Being young adults, neither my gf or I have any credit history(apart from her student loan). This would be our first apartment. We've been trying to get Hawaii's rental codes and information about housing, but the website "no longer exists". Does anybody know any info? We have several resources for finding housing, but whenever I try to contact realtors, and explain our situation, I get no response. I'm stressin' because I don't think we have a chance against more "established" citizens. Am I wrong?
Thirdly:
Used car vs. TheBus? We have found some good deals on used cars, but I'm sure we would first live in the city(maybe a little cheaper?). Certainly this raises prices on parking. In addition to that, a used car would require safety inspections and I'm worried I might not be able to get some types of cars serviced. Add the gas prices, and TheBus sounds pretty solid! Our plan is to get annual bus passes. Plus I'm down for being healthy and all that(I skate longboard and bike a lot) so maybe I can bike too, I saw the plans for the expansion of the biking system... looks cool. I like TheBus, it's the best trans-service I have ever used.
If anyone has any advice or personal experience, I would appreciate it very much. It would soothe my soul.
I swear I'm not a hippy.
