"Houston, The Money's have landed!"

Finally, after four very long days, two very stressed out cats, and two very exhausted humans, we arrived on Friday afternoon.   We got the keys to our temp housing, and started to "set up camp".  It's a nice place, but the more we're here,the more we're glad it's only temporary.  Things are either broken, or don't work how they should. I am keeping track of everything, just in case they try to charge us!

We both feel as though we have jetlag, without ever stepping foot on a plane.  It's only an hour time difference, but I am guessing the stress of the past few weeks, has finally caught up with us. We've rested up a lot this weekend, as we have a busy week ahead of us.  Lots more paper work to fill out, forms to sign, things to do, places to go and people to see.

We did venture out today and went to Costco!  Yeah, that's right, they have 3, count 'em, 3 Costco's here!  I hate Wal*mart (they are here also) and I was very happy to find one of my favorite stores close by.

We did hit a bumpy road on our adventure to Costco - it seems in Canada they don't take Visa Debit Cards at Costco, like they do in the US.  We had to scramble around and try to find an ATM machine (and get it to work in English) while our stuff was at the checkout line.

Thankfully we got our money and our Costco goodies!
