This is my house on Sand Island, the largest and only inhabitted island in Midway Atoll. There are three other similar houses on the island. I believe they are former officer housing. I live here with my two roommates, Brette and Nushe. Check out all the albatross in the front yard!
This is Brette. She is a couple years older than me and spent just under 9 months on Laysan Island, also in the northern Hawaiian Islands, before coming to midway.
This is Nushe. She is recently retired and three months on Midway is her big post retirement adventure. We are quite entertaining together, as Nushe says "like book ends"; me just startiy career and she winding her's down.
Our house is decked out:
Full kitchen, complete with clothes washer and dryer, oven and stove... too bad we can't acquire the ingredients to actually cook anything.
Large living and dining room space. Note the TV that has yet to be turned on. I blog from the dining room. We also have two full bathrooms and our own bedrooms.
This is my bed room complete with TV and AC, neither of which have I made any use of. As I have noted in earlier posts, this is not common for remote field locations. Accomadations on Midway are plush becuase five thousand people once inhabited this island.
