It is difficult to get a reservation at the end of the year and the beginning of the New Year, but in the summer, if you make a reservation early （, about 6 months in advance ）, you can usually get a reservation. Since I live in the U.S., I have a relatively flexible schedule, so I can make reservations every year without any problems. I would not recommend it to people who work for Japanese companies and do not have flexibility in their schedule or cannot make plans until the last minute, but I would recommend it to people who have more flexibility in their schedule. The kitchen is large and easy to use, and it is by far more economical than staying in a regular hotel.

Also, you should consider resale. You can buy one for about 1/3 ～ 1/4 of the price. There will be a few restrictions, but you can use it just for a normal stay.

Immigration Carry Requirements
- U.S. Immigration Law （ INA § 264Com ） requires foreign nationals to carry their registration （ or green card ） with them at all times, and violating this requirement is a misdemeanor （. misdemeanor ）.
- In practice, it is rare that this provision is actively enforced, but in situations where ICE is involved, I have seen instances where the inability to immediately prove residency status has led to wrongful detention.

Possibility of Proving Identity with Real ID
- Real ID-enabled driver's licenses are reliable in certain situations, as they can be used by TSA at airports, etc., as federally recognized identification.
- However, even with Real ID, "proof of residency" may not be sufficient, especially for ICE duties where a dedicated document （ proof of visa, I-94, GC, etc. ） may be required.

Practical Risks and Countermeasures
- One measure to reduce the risk of not carrying is to always carry a photocopy or photo, even if it is not the original, but you may be legally required to present it in original form.
- Especially against the background of the recent increase in the number of cases of legal residents being detained for misidentification, it makes sense to be cautious and "carry at all times just in case" as a form of self-protection.

The green card is plastic.
The paper was a social security number card. Sorry.

Thank you all for your advice.
I also read Mr. Shoteen's post on the information board.
I guess I have to carry my original card
although there is still a risk of losing it.
I will keep a copy in case I lose it.

I recommend Atomy, a Korean cosmetic company. It contains Chinese herbs and is gentle to the skin ． It is safe to use.

I wanted to support them because they didn't sell well, but
Some days there was a lot of dark green tea powder but almost no sweet potato,
On the other hand, there was a lot of sweet potato but not much green tea powder, and somehow the taste was not consistent 😢
They didn't look good and didn't look delicious. It might have been better if they had small cups for tasting.

No wonder they didn't have any, they didn't sell well.

I buy it at Cosco.
Gold Standard, 5.5 lb. packs are $ 56
sometimes on sale $ about 45.
But only vanilla and chocolate are available.
You can buy the other series from Cosco mail order, but you have to pay for shipping.
but I think it is cheaper than buying elsewhere.

Thanks for the reply.
Since it is US news, I copied it as it is in English, but
some parts are not correct in Japanese because it is automatically translated in BibiNavi.

Yes, it is.
Who knows how high prices will be when I retire in a few decades
?
Anyway, make money while you are healthy. Plus, I think I should make various sources of income.

FYI, families who moved from Hawaii to the mainland during the Corona were also renting on the mainland.
Prices have gone up on the mainland as well, so we can no longer afford to raise 3 kids and now live
in my parents house in Hawaii for crying out loud. We were able to do this because we were local.
People who were buying houses on the mainland at the same time, over 5 years after Corona, they went up so much that they sold for 1.5 times what they paid.
There are no houses in the US. Such a difference in just 5 years. And it looks like it went up 4 times in Okinawa in another topi.
Depending on location, it is better to buy real estate if you can get a loan.

There is also the option of life insurance for future planning.

I can't go into too much detail here, but I think life insurance and real estate will still be important.

I don't know about the price of real estate because it depends on the situation, but I think the U.S. economy will slow down
in late 2025 to 2026, and if that happens, the price of real estate will go down.

If you have real estate for sale, why do you want to sell it ？ and ask the real estate agent, and if it is urgent, it is possible to buy it
. There is no need to buy the property at the asking price. You can also buy real estate that has been on the market for a long time. I'm sure Real Estate Agent will get angry if I
Post such a thing.

I, too, have life insurance. I am not a life insurance and real estate agent.
How to survive in the U.S. I have done a lot of research.

I also have experience in buying and selling real estate, and I always have them negotiate every time. I have never bought at list price.
It is important to choose an agent who is a good negotiator.

I have lived on the mainland for 25 years. I have moved to the East Coast, West Coast, Southwest, and have real estate in Hawaii, but I don't think you understand the significance of this data at all. First of all, unlike Japan, the US is a country where income and spending levels can be several times different in different areas. For example, in Silicon Valley and Manhattan, it is not unusual for an average salary to exceed $300,000. In the Midwest, on the other hand, many workers are employed in factories and farms, where salaries of around $50,000 are common. Naturally, real estate prices also vary widely. When changing jobs, it is essential to use the Relocation Calculator or the Salary Calculator to find out the salary and rent level in the area where you will be working. The same $300,000 job offer can mean very different things depending on where you live.

Also, a significant number of Americans are downsizing and relocating when they retire. If you are an owner of an expensive home on the East or West Coast, it is a fairly common pattern to sell your home and move to a retirement community in Florida or Arizona. In this case, the money needed for retirement that is being offered is useful information. A homeowning businessman retiring on the East or West Coast will cash out 1 or 2 mil → $500,000 to acquire a retirement property ＆ Retirement fund cash out is normal.

Hawaii is special because there are many such wealthy mainlanders living in Hawaii for a few years, demand for vacation homes from wealthy Californians, etc. The biggest expense in retirement is housing, so housing costs driven up by these wealthy people have a big impact.

The way to survive in the U.S., is to work in areas with high salary levels and retire in areas with low salaries.

From LA, it is better to leave in the morning when the sun is fully up, since the road goes east.　The sunrise is quite dazzling.　Motel 6 has a microwave oven in the room.　Try not to eat too much dinner, etc. and take the rest home with you.　　
If you pitch in early and swim in the pool, you will sleep well at night.　　Snacks to pass the boredom should be well chewed.　It will wake you up.　　Japanese snacks are not easy to buy along the way, so bring extra.

A friend of my wife's stayed at a hotel on the way to move from California to Texas. A private U-Haul towed was stolen from the hotel parking lot while he was staying there
He said this is a common occurrence around Texas. Minimum security awareness such as security camera locations and handle locks may be necessary.
