Travel Arrangements

So it turns out that King Cove is earthquake center on top of being one of the windiest places ever. I have been emailing back and forth with a teacher that is there now and plans to leave this year- she tells me that I need a car- so I can either bring mine or buy one of the two used cars available there.

I have decided to bring mine and in doing that I now will be driving me and my two dogs the 3500 miles across Canada and Alaska to the ferry at Homer and then trekking nearly three days by water to King Cove. It is going to be quite the adventure but I am ready for it.
I have talked to the three landlords in KC and there are three housing options.

1- The apartments downtown- they are cheap but they don't allow dogs. Close to the stores but not the school. 500 a month
2-Koso house uptown-close to the school but not the store and the family lives there in the summer so I would have to move out for that time period. Plus it is someone's house so I don't think I would be able to put my stamp on it as much. 775 plus utilities.
3-Gould rentals-across the bay so a decent drive to the school and store. There is no cable on this side of the bay so now TV- or internet I think. Plus is that I would be able to make this place my own without worrying about having to move out in the summers. 750 for a duplex and 800 for a three bedroom house- plus utilities. (I could have a hydroponic room here though).

Right now I am leaning towards the Koso house for my first year so that I can get used to the way things work in the village. I don't watch a ton of TV but it is nice to have it if there is nothing ele to do.
