Apartment Living
It’s official…we signed on the house and are now officially back to apartment life. It’s been 18 years since we’ve lived in an apartment and although this one seems fine.. I’m certainly glad it’s only for 2 months! I already miss my deck and lawn and seeing our pets wander about the pasture.
Right now I’m so sore my toes even hurt! We got a top floor because we didn’t want noisy neighbors above our head and it will be for the best but by the end of moving things up 3 stories yesterday I was questioning our sanity! We didn’t take too much to the apt. since it’s just a little 1bdrm,1bath but it’s probably a great thing for us to start downsizing our life now anyway since we’ll be living out of a backpack for 12-15mths!
A big positive (other than our new hefty bank account!) is the new commute time for me (12 minutes this morning compared to 55min!) and the fact that for the first time in 18 years we’ll be living within city limits and can order pizza delivery!!! I know, I know, scary what gets me excited.
In looking at airfares this morning, I did just find a fare from Portland to Auckland w/ a stopover in Fiji for $868pp. A pretty good deal since the best travel industry rate I’d found was $760pp out of LAX with us still having to get there. I think we’ll book it next week, have our departure date set and REALLY start planning & getting excited about our big adventure!
