Okay, so I knew moving to Hawaii would cost a lot but you don’t really get a grasp of it until you start getting quotes. (Just wait till I write out those checks, tear*) I knew my dogs would cost more than moving a kid but it didn’t hit me until I filled out all the paperwork and talked to the airline. I am mentally preparing myself to spend about half the money we saved (in a year in a half) on the move alone!

Just so you can wrap your head around this, here are some quotes we got:

Pod to move our crap: $7,400 (I would now rather sell all my stuff and start over!)

Cars: $1,100 each (we were going to take both and now we are debating)

Dogs: $319 each for flight, $165 each to pick up from airport, $325 each rabies titer, not to mention…
