Week 3 1/2

We've been here now 3 weeks and 2 days. Not really half of a week but close enou2gh. I've attended 2 ladies parties in the last 2 weeks. The first was a luncheon at my husband's bosses home. His wife wanted to meet the ladies. Today it was a Festive Coffee. I had never been to a Festive Coffee so I decided to go. I met many lovely women. One husband, I'm sure he's used to being the only male in the group. I was surprised at how many times most of these women had moved around the world. I'm just starting out in this world of different postings. Term for new job locations. Everyone reassured me that I would figure out the road system, and I would begin to get the hang of it. I guess if I don't they'll tell me I did anyway. I've been able to hail a taxi, get the taxis to take me where I need to go and not pay too much for the ride. I know sounds like a pretty staight forward occurance, but you have to remember, just because they seem to understand english doesn't mean they do.

We move into our new home on Saturday, we signed papers today that should get us closer to selling our house in the US. Our sea shipment won't arrive until the 19th and has to process through at least 10 days, that means we shouldn't see our stuff until the 29th of December. I talked to someone today that said it shouldn't take more than 6 weeks to get our belongings. We'll see. Now to pick a tree and decorate for Christmas since we have a home to decorate.
