Amurikan Lunatic --- 14 years ago -

Order DirecTV so I can watch all my Bears games in stunning HD on my worthless to have here hdtv....

Then, I am going to walk around with my hat on without having to worry about some goon telling me to take it off while inside.

Then, I am going to wear a sleeveless shirt to the beach without some goon telling me that I am not in proper clothing.

Then I am going to go grocery shopping without showing my id.

Then, I am going to stay out past midnight on the weekends with my wife.

Then, I am going to buy clothes that not everyone has, without having to order them online.

Then, I am going to buy a pizza from pizza hut, without getting raped on the prices.

sonic burger 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

Eat Sonic, Papa John's, Mexican food and the Home Place. That's just in NC. Shop, of course. I miss Kohl's, Target and the mall. Take the dogs to PetSmart. Visit friends. Try not to kill anyone as I constantly drive on the wrong side of the road. 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

That will definitely be a problem for me, too. When I'm out on the highway I should be fine. The two lane roads all over? Not so much. 

Amurikan Lunatic --- 14 years ago -

Change the radio station. 

Balls To The Wall --- 14 years ago -

Get my hair did.

Go to an actual Buckle store. :)

Oh. Target, too.

Eat a salad with fresh tomatoes.

And cucumbers! I hate those skinny ones, and they "real" ones always look gross when I go shopping! 

Balls To The Wall --- 14 years ago -

Actually I am going to go to a farmer's market and run around like a crazy woman. Excited! 

FkYouPanda --- 14 years ago -

Smoke a blunt get high. 

Balls To The Wall --- 14 years ago -

Go to Mellow Mushroom and get a variety of beer on tap. A whole wall of freaking beer. :)

Oh garage sales!!!! I am so excited for those. 

Shelly --- 14 years ago -

I'm going to go to Walmart/Target, the mall, eat Mexican food, eat at Smokehouse BBQ.

Driver's side should be up against the middle line no matter what country you're in.

That's how I made sure I was on the correct side when we first got here and when we went home last year. 

Proud Army Wife --- 14 years ago -

WALMART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then one of our favorite little restaurants the next day- :P 

Kathryn --- 14 years ago -

Get my house together and not worry about moving again! (We leave in a few months!) 

FkYouPanda --- 14 years ago -

Gotta hit up IHOP. 

JessicaB --- 14 years ago -

Well since we still don't have orders, I'll be flying the pugs back next week so I'll let you know what I find in Altanta to eat when I land and all that fun jazz! 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

You know you can take the dogs to Petbox here, right?

PetBox is really small compared to PetSmart.

Also it's really easy. Driver's side should be up against the middle line no matter what country you're in.

I went back to the states once and it was only six months after being here. I still had trouble remembering which side to drive on.

Our friends in Baltimore have already purchased tickets for us to attend a beer festival the weekend we are at their house. 

JessicaB --- 14 years ago -

@ LLIO Me too, I drove on the wrong side there once! I felt like a rahtard!

How are you doing this? Are you paying out of pocket? 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

We have to take a copy of our orders to get our health certificate on Kadena. 

JessicaB --- 14 years ago -

How are you doing this? Are you paying out of pocket?

Uh yes about 2000 not including the fee's on them! And you don't have to have a copy of orders to get the health certificate...well I just went in there today, told them when I was flying out next week and they made me and appt on Monday and I leave on Wednesday... 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

I called today and they told me I had to have a copy of orders. Maybe because I said we were PCSing. 

JessicaB --- 14 years ago -

I called today and they told me I had to have a copy of orders. Maybe because I said we were PCSing.

I wonder if I am going to have to pay...I told them that we were supposed to have PCS'ed like over 2 months ago and we were running out of time because of the heat restriction and they said no problem and got me in...I'm sure though if I have to pay I don't think it would be much...I didn't even think to ask about that! 

Kathryn --- 14 years ago -

Good info here, thanks!

I will be paying probably more than that...I have a huge dog and a medium dog. They don't have the flat faces though, so maybe if I get a flight early enough in the morning (while the temp is down) they will be good to fly!

I think I'm going to look up how much it would be on a united flight out of here with 2 dogs... 

JessicaB --- 14 years ago -

Uh yes about 2000

That's my plane ticket...and if you ship them alone it's the same price...and yes I will be paying 5000Y per a dog and then from Narita to Atlanta it's around 200-250 per a dog... 

JessicaB --- 14 years ago -

It's $10 or $15 per dog for a health certificate.

and thank you for this info! I seriously never thought to ask this question! So it should be free with orders LLIO! 

JessicaB --- 14 years ago -

I think I'm going to look up how much it would be on a united flight out of here with 2 dogs...

and I would NOT book a ticket on line...you will find lots of planes the smaller ones will only allow one pet or no pets at all...I was at the travel agency all day yesterday trying to find flights that let me take both dogs...and once they found the flight they confirmed with the airlines there was room in cargo for my two dogs before I had to pay for my ticket... 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

All I did was call the airline to see if I could get both dogs on, booked the tickets online and then immediately called back and got confirmation numbers. Some airlines will charge you extra to book over the phone.

I would have been able to do this but was running into the smaller plane issue and they didn't understand me and I didn't understand them so I just went to Omega travel on Foster and I didn't get charged extra for that but she gave me the military discount which is nice... 

JessicaB --- 14 years ago -

Hey, Jessica, Are you allowed to pay credit card on the Narita to Atlanta part? Which airline are you using?

It's in yen from Naha to Narita and I will find out when I call Narita I can let you know...I'm flying Delta since it's a direct flight and it will be only the 200-250 per a dog that whole flight, not too bad...I had heard you can use credit card and cash but I will let you know!
