Home - 3rd time lucky!

"All For the Better" - the name of our new estate and so, so true... We moved in about a week before Halloween and loving it so far! Our new landlords, Steve and Ellenor with their newborn baby are some of the nicest people we've met yet - and spoil us with fresh fruit and veggies from the garden daily - coconuts, papaya, eggplant, collard greens, bell peppers, mustard greens, oranges...you name it.

Apartment Hunting

As a few of you know, Geoff and I had plans to look for a place in a quiet country area away from the hustle and bustle of San Juan. Well I guess you can never plan too much because since we've been here, we've decided on another course of action.

Our shipping company (Total Car Shipping) have been screwing us around BIG time and what should already be here by now, still hasnt even been picked up yet! We've been on the phone with them several times a day, every day and they are just not willing to co-operate.

Geoff has also been applying for jobs here in San Juan and has already received a response! We thought with our costs accumulating and our bank accounts depleting, we'd take out a short term rental contract for something in San Juan and just focus on getting the truck from Seattle, getting jobs, learning the culture and language in an area where we can have a gradual and safe transition to all the differences.

So the hunt has begun... from apartments in Old San Juan to cute little places in some of the suburbs of the CBD area..of course we always allowed enough time in between places for some sightseeing!
