I will be moving from LA to north Dallas this summer. I am posting this to see if anyone who knows anything can give me some advice.
We are moving with our family using U hall, so it will be 2 nights 3 days or 3 nights 4 days.
We will be leaving LA around 10am and staying in Phoenix the first day, but what city would be ideal to stay in after that? We are planning to stay at motel 6 and not include sightseeing, but if you have any recommendations for restaurants along the way, that would be great too.
Thank you in advance.

A few years ago, I rented a truck by myself and came to Dallas from LA for 4 days and 3 nights, I took the 40, on the way I came from Albuquerque via Roswell, famous for UFOs, the country road to Roswell was more expansive and American than the 40, the last night I stayed near Dallas, because I wanted to get my stuff in in the morning. The last night was near Dallas, because we wanted to arrive in the morning and bring in our luggage.
We were a little nervous because we did not know when there would be gas stations on the country roads on the way, but we had a good time without any problems.

Thanks for the info.
We have plenty of time to spare, but I'm thinking 3 nights is good, with an emphasis on moving rather than sightseeing, driving 5 to 7 hours a day. We are still working on the route, but I will also have a container of gasoline ready just in case.

Is there any advantage by birthday for Kinder exam ??

Question

I recently read with great interest a topic on Punahou ・ Iolani's Kinder exam.
I wondered if the August born child would have an advantage over the July born child in the following year, since there is still a difference in development even if the difference is only a few months in Kinder ?
Punahou ・ If a child is good enough to pass Iolani, does the difference of a few months not matter? ?
Also, girls tend to be seen as more solid children because they are generally more efficient than boys, but does the school use the IQ test to determine this? ?
I would appreciate it if you could answer my question.

There is no such priority.
On the contrary, August birthdays are required to have high standards. At Punahou, this year the questions were the same, but the words used in the questions were changed between the June-December 2019 kids and the January-July 2020 kids.
The school is professional. They look at the differences based on the age of the children.
IQs remain the same, so they are being judged very closely.
As said in another topic, you can't get into Kinder at an ordinary level. That's why the test dates are set by birthday, and there are rumors that if you submit late you get a later test date, but it's birthday based whether you submit early or late.

I got goosebumps that they divide by birthday and match the test content to that level ! IQ doesn't change with age !
The more I learn, the more surprised and interested I am.

Please let me know if you can recommend any doctors or hospitals other than St. Luke's Clinic.

St. Luke's didn't fit me either. Not because it didn't fit, but because I sometimes thought it was a little too haphazard ? about my symptoms. Since money was being generated, I didn't need to make small talk about anything other than my illness …. I felt that way because I have been to many different hospitals in Japan. I'm sure there are some who fit the bill, but it depends on the individual.
If you live in Hawaii, why don't you find a doctor who can interpret only in English? It is free of charge. You can have the interpreter come in person or you can have the interpreter available in the doctor's office online. The interpreters who come in person are very good.
Also, if you are looking for a PCP who can interpret for you, we recommend that you search within the Hawaii Pacific Health network.

I've been seeing St. Luke's and I've never had anything bad happen to me.
The doctors are kind
I think many of the doctors and staff are Christian
Of course there is no such thing as solicitation.
It's hard to find the right fit because it's different for everyone.
I hope you find one soon.

When I went to see the doctor for my health condition, the doctor started talking about God in the middle of the medical interview ・ ・ ・ It was difficult for me, a non-Christian, to understand. Incidentally, when I consulted him about my weight gain due to thyroid dysfunction, he said, "You don't have to eat three meals a day, you don't have to eat at a certain time, you just eat when you are hungry and your body needs food, God created us that way. I think, but I don't think I had a chance to meet him.

If you don't speak Japanese, I would recommend Strub Hospital.

I use Strub Hospital as my PCP.

If you are looking for someone who speaks Japanese, I don't know.
I know there used to be a Japanese-speaking doctor at Strub Hospital
but now, I don't think he is there.

I'm actually a full time UBER driver, and I've been rear-ended 4 times in the last year alone.
I drive mainly at night, and I've been rear-ended twice lightly, once moderately, and once enough to get me out of the car.
Moreover, all four times the other party had no car insurance, and one of them was an idiot who was driving around without even having a car license.
What they all had in common was that they thought they had no way to get money from those who didn't have it, and they had an unfaithful attitude that said, "I don't give a damn about social responsibility.
In Hawaii, where there are so many people who have grown up without any higher education, I was exhausted just thinking about living and coexisting with such people in the same small society.
I am still driving UBER, but the sound of the violent collision from behind keeps on leaving a traumatic impression on my brain.
So, I would like to ask everyone if anyone has experienced frequent rear-end collisions while driving ?
I would be very grateful if you could share your experiences with me.

This may sound funny, but I always check the car behind me and if I stop and I think the car behind me is going too fast, I pump the brakes. And I always keep a good distance from the car in front of me. I would be so angry if I was rear-ended. And it scares me.

I have lived in Hawaii for 10 years. I have been thinking exactly the same thing lately. In all the decades I have lived in Japan, I have never seen a car accident, but in Hawaii I see them several times a year. This year there were two. One of them was a hit-and-run accident in which the driver who rear-ended the car ran out of control like a drunk driver and hit the car several times with great force. I think Hawaii's driving etiquette is getting worse every year.
And I think the number of private cars in Hawaii has increased so much in the last few years that it has become a big problem. As a resident myself, I used to think it wasn't so bad, but nowadays when I go outside, I often smell gasoline in the air and I hesitate to go out. Although this is Hawaii, the environment that should be a paradise, a world-class paradise, is being damaged. If this continues, not only will the quality of life for the residents suffer, but it will also keep tourists away. Tourists do not visit Hawaii to breathe dirty air or to be trapped in traffic jams. I strongly believe that unless decisive action is taken, Hawaii will face serious environmental and economic decline.

# Thanks for the info, 10nyankoz. I've started pumping as much as kudos to you too.
#11 Tsubuan, thanks for the information. I drove for more than 10 years in Japan and never had an accident. I think most of the locals here would run away even if hit. I think the problem is that they have very low morals. After I was hit, the other driver ran away.

#12IV, that is a valuable experience. I was at an intersection last year where an ambulance and a civilian car were rear-ending each other .

My husband is an ex-police. He says
① the issuance of licenses is too easy and many people have poor driving skills. I doubt they have a few hours of voluntary skill practice
② Hawaii is crawling with criminals. They can't go to jail so they are released immediately. People with 100 arrests are walking around.
③ There are a lot of immigrants here and they don't speak the language, which is another reason why employment is not stable
④ Hawaii is multicultural with many immigrants. This is not Japan. There is no courtesy here. Expectations will only lead to disappointment.
⑤ You are the only one who can protect yourself. ⑥ This is not Japan, don't expect too much

I just arrived in J1.
I am in a dormitory right now, but
I am having a hard time finding a house and can't decide.
I found a room along the Ala Wai Canal that is available
but it is hard to fill, so I am considering whether it is popular or not.
Is it dangerous to walk home from work late at night ??

I've been living in an old condo along Ala Wai for 10 years and I've never been in any danger, even at night ….
I think it's not popular or quiet, but it's nothing compared to Japan.
I would say it's just a matter of being on the lookout for danger, or at least being lightly vigilant.
In fact, there are as many Japanese as ogres living around here, but I haven't heard of any incidents.
Everyone is exaggerating, exaggerating, exaggerating. lol
Don't act like you know anything. lol

Please live your life in Hawaii with peace of mind.

Maybe because you are a man.
Most of the victims are women. I can only recall a Japanese man wearing a Rolex watch who was the victim of a theft
on Kuhio Street.
I once had three young local women have their handbags stolen
from one local man on Ala Wai street, I guess they thought they were safe because there were only three of them.
I thought it was better for women not to walk around with others.
Even private lockers in Waikiki condos that are locked with security
are frequently broken into.
Hawaii has fewer incidents than other states, but I never felt safe and secure.
Tourists should be very careful.

Walking home late at night is dangerous anywhere in Hawaii. As a matter of probability, the Ala Wai area is high. But even around Ala Moana, where the probability is low, the probability is high in some places. And as for location, just like airplanes and car accidents, the more you ride, the higher the probability, and the more you walk around late at night, the higher the probability of encountering a bad guy. I think you can increase the odds of preventing it, though, by being a man, not wearing expensive things, etc.

I would recommend the Ala Moana area or Don Quijote area, as the streets along Ala Wai and from Kuhio to Kapahulu are not safe.

I would like to import back to Japan a car that I am currently driving here, but I was wondering if anyone knows the cheapest way to do this

I also looked at a website that has an article on the procedure for bringing a car from overseas to Japan .

I remember from the past that it is cheaper if the car is registered in the U.S. for more than one year ?

If anyone has any actual experience of bringing a car back home, please let me know.

I agree with #2 tomoyan as much as possible.

First of all, due to the size/weight of the car, it will be shipped by sea.

Even so, the shipping cost will be ridiculously high, and after landing in Japan, the car has to go through vehicle inspection,

which will be troublesome and expensive. Even if the car is made in Japan, it will not be exempted from another inspection.

Also, even if the car is made in Japan, the steering wheel is on the left, which makes it difficult to drive on Japanese roads.

What is Akihabara in Kanda, I don't recommend it either.

Not only transportation, but also testing and registration fees
Since it seems that you have to translate all the paperwork in registration by yourself
please think long and hard about whether you are willing to go through all that trouble.
No one will understand your love for your car, so
please measure your love for your car, its cost and effort by yourself!

Tap "Me" on the far right of the selection bar at the bottom of the Venmo screen, then tap the "Transfer" tab to the right of the "Balance" tab. The "Add Money" tab should appear on the right side of the "Transfer" tab under the "Balance" tab.

Before that.
First, you need to register your bank information ( Add ) in the "Me" screen (below )).

→ After a few days, the "Add Money" tab will appear. ( The number of days after that may vary from financial institution to financial institution. )

So, if you can't find it anywhere now, no problem.  ( Good Luck ! )
