Home Sweet Home

Thirty-eight apartment viewings later, we finally have a place to call home. Yesterday, one of our real estate agents, a kind Indian man with a puffy pompadour, came to our hotel so we could sign a rental agreement. We will be living in a brand new apartment building in Bandra. (Insert big smiley grin here)



The location is perfect- very close to shops and restaurants, not too far from Martin's work, and there is a large playground area which will be wonderful for Isabel once she starts walking. I am excited about decorating. I've been daydreaming about intricate Indian statues and colorful satin pillows. The flat isn't entirely done yet, but there are only a few small things which need work, like the kitchen cabinets. No one else has lived in the apartment before; it's always nice to be the first ones. Everything will be spic 'n span.



Our moving date is July 1st. I will feel more like a resident and less like a tourist once we are moved in, and I'm looking forward to it very much. Pictures to come, of course. I will document setting up the place from start to finish so you can follow along.
