I’m off to Kiribati in a few hours, with a short stop over in Nauru. At most, I hope to get a Nauru passport stamp. I’ll be there for four days before I leave, again, for Fiji and Tuvalu. Then it’s on to Hawai’i on August 14. I hope to have my Rennell update finished …
I’ve really picked the most holiday packed time to visit Israel I could have. Today is Yom Hashoa in Israel, or the Holocaust Remembrance Day.

6am. 4 hours sleep. Only 3 or so boxes left in the house I smell foul. I’m tired. Walk-through is in 3 hours, then sign the documents and turn over the keys. Then transfer stuff to my dad’s truck. Then, I’m free.
