Overseas Screening:
Get Medical Records Together- DONE!Pap Smear- DONE! Hurray!- Physical
Tetanis shot & Tuberculosis Screening for Rachel- DONE!- Surgery on August 16th, Get Cleared for Overseas Move
- Catalina's "Interview" with the Commander - Aug. 1st
- When this list is done, we can start making our Flight arrangements - We're hoping to fly out around February 1st
Work:
Let my Supervisor know I'll stop working in mid-January to focus on our move: Last Day is January 13, 2012!- Train someone to fill my shoes
- Give official written notice in mid-December!
Vehicles:
- New Breaks & Maybe Bigger Tires on the Truck before we Leave
- Sell the Mazda by 1/31/11 (I want to use that money to get myself a scooter!)
- Schedule Explorer to be shipped out around mid-December so that we're not waiting forever for our truck to arrive in Guam
- Lots to do for the vehicles after we get to Guam...
Cellphones:
- Call AT&T and have our cell phones transferred out of my name and into Matt's name (AT&T will let us cancel our phones without penalties with Matt's orders, but not if the phones are kept in my name...this means we may have to pay a deposit when we transfer the phones over, but it'll be cheaper than three cancelation charges! I'm kind of sad about having to give up my cell phone number. I've had it since I was 16 and this is how old friends get a hold of me. We'll have a 671 area code in Guam, but I'm hoping to mostly talk with people on Skype!)
Doggies: (I have a feeling there's stuff missing from this list...but this is good for now)
- Make sure they both have all shots up to date: Rabies, distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis - We may need to get a second Rabies Shot for Buttercup
- Need Certificates for Rabies and Certificate of Immunization
- Have blood work done on dogs - I believe 90 days before being shipped
- Get dogs Microchipped!
- Make reservations for QUARANTINE - Need to find out if they'll have to be quarantined in Hawaii or in Guam
- Mail $120 to Treasurer of Guam for Entry Permits
- Make Flight Reservations for Dogs
- Wellness Check no sooner than 14 Days before their flight
Housing Arrangements:
- Make a reservation at Naval Lounge
- Email application for housing along along with orders & Page 2
- Contact Movers
- We'll be living out of suitcases for a while when we get there...I'll think more about what to pack as the date gets closer
I know there are a lot of other things I'll need to do to prepare for this move. If you'd like to add any ideas or suggestions, please do. We're still waiting to hear who Matt's sponsor will be...hopefully someone reliable that doesn't mind a ton of questions and someone that'll show up to meet us at the airport when we arrive!
