From now on properly together

So ... I moved.

Our pad

Thought I would share pictures of our place. I took them before moving in. Well, the place looks pretty much the same, since Michael and I plan on buying furniture together once he arrives.

Good news is that there's an IKEA opening in Miami. So we'll update with picture of the place furnitured later.

Oh, this is a view from our balcony.

Fewer things to do

I now have my ticket!! Aug 28 I will be in Miami. I know it's kinda late, but I finally got it, so you can all stop mentioning it. I then found out, that I can check 2 bags @ 50lb (23kg) each plus 1 carry on @ 40 lb (18kg). I think I only have to mail one box!! Now I need to do a little more sorting out to make sure I fit everything I want to bring in the bags. It's a strange feeling to give away so many things...
Also I sold the printer that had been collecting dust in my room for a long time. My housemate got it cheap and I don't have to worry about it anymore, both win.
What's next? Don't know. But there's progress :-)

Not to be left behind...

I am on facebook too, but don't count on me to check it often...

Michael on Facebook

You can now find me on facebook. But be careful, there are quite a few imposters (Michael Roeder) I am Michael Röder.

Things To Do

I won't go into details, but there's still a lot to do, before I can get out of here. So far I have (amongst other things) terminated my current letting contract, told my boss I'm leaving, hopped across the channel back home to say good-bye to friends and family, who I will probably see even less from now on, sorted through my wardrobe and bagged lots of stuff to give to charity, carried the bastardly heavy old PC monitor and PC plus accessories to the "Used Computer Store", decided to throw away every little bit and piece stuff I haven't touched in a while, gave away books to friends and colleagues ...
Unfortunately the ToDo list is still a lot longer than the HaveDone list. But I manage to do a little more every day.

Michael joins in

It's time I join Rosie and start contributing to this blog as well. From now on I will try to update our friendly readers about my last weeks in England and the final preparations before my move across the pond. Don't get too excited, it could be a short and boring read until I get used to all this and find my own blogging style.

Keep reading and your comments coming.
