Well, we escaped the typhoon Haiyan or Yolanda as they are calling it here.  It hit south of us, so we just got rain and wind. The orange dot in the picture below is Manila.  You can see that the smaller islands to the south got pounded and were not as fortunate as we.  There is a huge relief effort going on here...

We had a really nice weekend.  We found a great pet store called Bow and Wow, so Kona is set with food, dishes, chew bones, you name it.  We went to the Sky Park which is green space on top of the SM Aura Mall.  It is a beautiful view from there and quite peaceful.  There is a chapel there where they hold church services every day and Samsung Hall, but I'm not sure what events are held there...

The last couple of days we have been concentrating on finding an apartment to live in.  We have been looking at 3 bedroom apartments as this 1 bedroom we are staying in now is getting smaller by the day.  We got it narrowed down to 2 and finally made our decision this morning.  I can't wait to get moved in and settled!
