Car registration and licenses

We are now officially Hawaiian residents!  We spent the morning getting the car inspected, transferring the registration, and getting new driver's licenses.  The process was relatively painless, but there was only one person at the motor vehicle office doing licenses, so she had to do everything from reviewing the documents, giving the written tests (which we had to take), and giving the road tests (which one person took while we were waiting), so it took a while.

New license plate
In the afternoon we went to a building store, a tile store, and Home Depot to pick kitchen cabinets and tile for the two bathrooms.  Then it was back to the house to discuss some details with Mitch.

This moth, a Black Witch Moth (Ascalapha odorata) was in the carport when we got back to our rental.
The wingspan is about 7 inches, and it is the largest moth (and probably the largest insect) north of Mexico.  It's sometimes mistaken for a bat while flying.
