... To a tiny little island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean called Kwajalein! Who'd'a thunk?!
Peter accepted a position this week with Kwajalein Range Services. Given there aren't any hiccups with Peter's clearance/health checks and other details, we should be there in about 2 months or so. Below are some island specs, with more to come later. :-)

| Here's the island from air - It's about 3 miles long and 3/4 of a mile wide |

| To give you an idea of where it is at in relation to the United States~ |
 |
| And to give you an idea of where it's at in relation to other places!! It's pretty safe to say it's a fairly long flight from most anywhere! That being said, planes do land on the island, and we will welcome any visitors who are able to make the trek!!! :) |
Obviously, we will be working our tail ends off during the next month to get the house ready to put on the market. Oh, and pack... although that really does feel like a MINOR detail in the scheme of things right now! :)

Congrats!
Pack light. You won't regret that! Just think... you can leave all your fall and winter clothes behind!
Peter & Marissa I heard the news of your possible venture, and now it seems even more sure.What a beautiful spot in the middle of the great blue Pacific. Oh the island ways. What a great experience, and truly can be an enriching one for what really matters. Will be anxious to follow along in the new life. I stopped there twice, but was never able to exit plane; being w/o security clearance.
Looks like you were affected by the same Blogger glitch as I was... I noticed this post had gone missing, and is now back but without all the comments! I lost my Cozumel post #3 and your comments too. :/
Anyway, we're very excited for you re this news, and can't wait to hear all about it!
wow!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!
Wow! That is quite the news! Looking forward to hearing more about it. You've just become wayyyyy closer to us! :)
