Tenting for Termites

I now live in the tropics. Bugs love the tropics. Termites are bugs. Ergo...

Was it a Halloween prank? Did the circus come to town? I'm sure very few people were even curious, as these tents are a common sight. Everyone here gets termites sooner or later.

It took a week to pack up the house, move out for two days, and then move everything back. And by everything, I mean:

• Anything edible from the kitchen and pantry, and also anything from the bathroom that might ever be ingested - toothpaste, medications, cough syrup, even aspirin..., and all the dog/fish/bird food.
• All my lanai plants. Apparently the gas is very hard on orchids in particular.
• I have huge flower pots that serve as fish ponds on both the upper and lower lanais. I had to relocate the fish to a makeshift pond far away from the house. They did not go willingly.

Sophie spent two days at Paws having fun. Except for all the commotion of the packing and unpacking, she wasn't bothered by this at all. I spent the one night at the Royal Kona trying not to worry about a thing. Here was the view from my room:

Aloha y'all!
