Our Temporary Lodgings

Rodney made arrangements for our temporary lodging at Eagle Lodge.

 I was expecting another hotel room, but we actually had a small 3-bedroom apartment! Looking at the picture above, the door to our apartment is on the right side (back) of the building and goes the width of the building with sliding glass doors out from the living room and two of the bedrooms to the balcony on the left side (front) of the building.

This picture shows the back of the building. Our apartment was on the 2nd floor at the far right.

Here are a few pics of the inside of our little place. (Please, ignore the clutter--we were getting ready for another, our FINAL, pack-out!!)

 This was an interesting feature...a step up to this little "outer" bathroom with a small utility sink. It made a great place to give Truman a bath after our long trip.

 Then, a second step up to the bathroom itself.

Here is the view from the balcony. Not that you can tell from the picture, but where the trees kind of "V" on the right side of the picture, we could see ocean! The building on the left is the East West Montessori School. It's a preschool for both Japanese (East) and American (West) children. The cool thing is the location of their playground---its on the roof!! Don't worry, it's covered and totally fenced in :)

 This is the view when we'd leave the apartment. The forest-y/jungle-y area is actually on US Gov't property. Between the trees off to the right in the picture are buildings on one of the bases. Those heavily vegetated areas are very common all around this tropical island and are inhabited be some HUGE bats!! They can have a wing span of about 1.5-2 feet, if not a little more! Their bodies are the size of some small cats! Thankfully, they eat fruit :-)

It was very comfortable lodgings, but we were so ready to get into housing, get our household goods, NOT live out of a suitcase any more, and sleep in our OWN bed!!
