American In Sydney

Home Sweet Home?

Four and a half months ago, we went through the stressful process of looking for an apartment, going through the rental process, waiting for the fridge, cable, telephone, and internet to get hooked up. It feels like it was just yesterday when I was waiting for the rental company to call me to tell me that they didn't know how I was going to get a second key.

We got used to being in Milsons Point where there are so many great cafes, a quick walk to Lavender Bay where there are even more great restaurants, a quick walk across the bridge to the Rocks where old Sydney began, and easy views of the harbour.

But now here we are again. With less than 1.5 weeks left before we travel for the holidays, we're again racing against time and struggling to negotiate with another rental agency to move into another apartment across the harbor and in the city. The apartment is bigger (so we expect more guests!) and we'll finally get reunited with all our stuff that we sent from Boston.

We're excited for the new change, We'll be coming back in 2007 to a bigger, better apartment, where we can finally "settle" and unpack.

Of course this all depends on whether or not the owner accepts our application.
