If you are going to be up atOkuma you can go to Hiji falls it is right across the street. Their are signs. You have to do a lot of walking and their are a lot of stairs you have to climb but it is beautiful.
Hi Daniela,
My daughter is just starting out with scrappbooking and would love any of the tools and paper. Please let me know if it is still available and I can come by anytime this weekend.
Thanks - Janice
If your kids like to be up close and personal with animals check out Neo park...bring some cut up stale bread to feed the birds...they are wonderful! There is also a petting zoo (seperate fee) that had lots of animals they can hold and feed.
As f...
Thanks - those sound like great suggestions. We haven't been much anywhere yet. We did book Okuma for 3 nights... are there any good restaruants or excursions from there in case we get bored there? I really appreciate any and all of your ideas!
HEY!
I am waiting out my moms visit to hit Shuri Castle. As with most tourist sites you really only need to go once.(-:

We love to go south. YOu could g...

I went to Eagle Hardware and the paint does not start over like the rest of the supplies..so you still would have to wait the 90 days.
I also checked out the selection of paint at the BX..not bad if you aren't looking for a specific color..they h...
HAve you checked back since the new year started on October 1st. It may have started the paint over. ITs worth a shot to ask someone and they just might since our account starts back at the top. Let me know what they say.
The only place I know of off-base that I could give you directions to is a business down 58 towards Naha called Tokashiki Paint. I haven't been in it to see what they offer or what their prices are like, but if you want to go check it out here are...
I'm also looking for paint that isn't expensive..I maxed out at Eagle Hardware and still need pink paint for my little girls nursery..I really would love to see the new BX's selection of paint and what the prices are but I just can't bring myself ...
My family and I just arrived to Okinawa earlier this month. I have 3 girls (ages 3, 5 and 7). My oldest two have started school at OCSI and I will soon be looking for preschool for my 3 year old. I am looking to network and get connected. I have already fallen in love with this place!
We will be moving soon to Okinawa and was wondering if we should stock up on fragrance free items such as laundry detergent, soap, etc, or, can we find those kinds of things at the PX?
Hi Janice!!! Please come tomorrow to the potluck - it is open to everyone and children are invited. It is very casual and will start sometime after 11 a.m. - after our summer studies end. We are not officially doing registration tomorrow but you can definately talk with the facilitators of this Fall's studies if they are in attendance. You can also access the info at our website www.pwockadena.org. I look forward to meeting you tomorrow!!
Hi Janice, I'm really sorry you can't make it now for tonight and that it didn't work out for you!! If I can help you out with your babysitting situation, would still be interested? I think my neighbor Dawn is getting a babysitter, for her girl (and I think my other nieghbor Robin's leaving her girl there too), and maybe you can all split the cost? (Robin might be able to assist too, in your inquiry bout Sunday school etc., if you haven't gotten this squared away). ;-) I'm just throwing it out there for you to help out, but no worries and understand, if you still won't be able to make. ;-) Thank you though, for letting me know as soon as you could. And hopefully we'll see you soon or at our next Bunco night.
Hi Janice!! Next week is not to late - we'd love to have you!! Then you'll have two weeks to meet some of our ladies and we're having a potluck on the 25th after our last study sessions for the summer. Then you'll only have to wait one week until our fall sessions start!!! Let me know if you need anything else!! Look forward to meeting you!!!

Hi Janice! Here's a link to the Fall Bible studies offered by PWOC, that start Sept 1. Larissa (one of the group facilitators) commented on my blog for you, too!
Hi Janice, I'm really happy to hear that you'll be able to join us Tuesday night! I do know that 5 of the players coming live here on Camp Foster, but my offer still stand to pick you up if you like.
