Airline trip is booked

Hi, today is Saturday, June 21st. Things are getting a little crazy now, we leave for the UK 4 weeks from tomorrow, July 20th. There is so much to do before we leave. We have not found a place to live but the relocation service is working on it. We will be flying from Denver to Heathrow nonstop and from Heathrow to Leeds. In all, the travel time will be around 14 hours with lay over in London. We still have lots of questions to be answered and things to buy before we leave. We will be shipping clothing, bedding and kitchen items over to the office. They are allowing us 3000 lbs to ship. Some will be by fast shipping and the other I guess goes by boat. We will be staying in a hotel when we first arrive until we can find a place to live. The first week will be dedicated to finding a place to live, getting a car and shopping. I have to be in the office on July 28th to work. We should have our bank account information soon. This will be fun, I will have to do my first international wire. I must work now so I can get everything done. Have a great day.

Additional Cottage Photos







Hi, it is Saturday, June 7th. Yesterday, my company was given the information we will be getting a departure date for our adventure very soon. It should be in the July time frame. I called our real estate relocation person to check on a place we had found on the web. It is a one bedroom cottage in Farnham, UK. Here is the information on the property.




Lovely one bedroom character cottage which dates back to the 1500's and has been refurbished to a great standard. Situated in the grounds of a larger house and surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens. Benefitting from secure parking. Private walled lawn, sunny patio and a wood burning stove. Located in the heart of this popular village close to Knaresborough and Harrogate.




I will also post some pictures of the place.




We are also working on getting our UK bank account open. Things are beginning to happened. We have a lot of work to to before we leave.




For those of you interested in names, we have heard a new one this week, what is an electric hob? I will give you the answer next week.
