Hi! beach3 has your transfer worked out for you? ted from vallejo

Hi Ted!
Still just waiting on the postmasters to look over our personal records. They have to be perfect! We don't want the move to happen until January so maybe they are waiting awhile? He has a house to sell. So that might be a snag...... I have my fingers crossed!
How are you? I sure hope you can find some one to trade with. I saw that they are hiring rural carriers in three separate areas here. Two areas are up near the north shore. I read that the pay is $15.22 an hour plus cola. Also they are hiring ptr's too. I think you are quaranteed 20 hours a week.Let me know if you need any info on that. later, Rene'

Hi Beach3
would you be interested in coming to north georgia near gainesville. If so my email is bccole@yahoo.com

Dear bc cole from Gainesville GA
I would have been interested about 4 months ago!! I have already got an exchange in the works. It looks like it will go through ( of course anything can go wrong) I will have to keep your email address just in case....but probably will not need it. Thanks for asking though, I would have loved to go to Gainesville!!! Beach 3

Hey bc cole from Gainsville GA........Your email address did not go through. The email I sent got returned!! Please leave me the correct one! Thanks!

Hey beach3...with the cost of living on the islands, can you live a decent lifestyle on a carrier's income? Thanks...been there once, would love to go one more time and never leave again.

We get a big chunk of extra money for the cost of living here. That really helps out a lot.
If you can bring some $$$ with you to put down on a mortgage for a condo/apartment ( houses are way too exspensive here ) you can live pretty good here. Or if you don't mind renting (that is what everybody does here.)Living on a postal income is okay here. I rent an apartment and I am able to save a little and take my vacations......so I guess it is all about what you will be happy with. Owning a house here?? Never gonna happen.....but living in a small modest apartment with extra spending cash to take vacations....I do it, so I guess you can too. You can't beat the weather !!!!!

Where are you from??? What island did you visit? Would you consider being a ptf again?
We do hire those often in Honolulu.
Aloha , Beach3

Hey Beach, thanks for the info...I work in the Dallas District...senority of 8/98...I visited Maui once for a week and loved it. Not sure if I want to start over at the bottom again. How fast are ptf's making reg? And if you would consider moving to my district, let me know. Thanks Beach.......Aloha.
