To the beach

We will be leaving Coral Springs at the end of the month and relocating east to Pompano Beach. This move is brought about by a few reasons, the biggest being that CORAL SPRINGS SUCKS! It is populated by the type of people who loiter at Walmart and we are sick of the sirens and random explosions from illegal fireworks and car exhaust pipes.

Our new abode is fully furnished which means that we are madly trying to jettison our junk before we move. Over the weekend we created a series of colourful fliers and posted them at the garbage drop-off points at a few local apartment complexes. The first people who entered our apartment were taken with Kentaro's 3-panelled geometric painting and his buckskin couch and before we knew it we were $500 richer!

Last night we sat on the floor with our plates placed precariously on the big orange kayak and dined on ribs and corn, our weekend favourite.

It will be a great relief to sell our stuff and move to the new place which is a 'turn key' meaning that that's all you have to do and you're up and running. All utilities are set up for us and included in the rent, which is much cheaper than what we're currently paying. AND we're a 2 minute walk from the beach, and on the other side, the intracoastal waterways. We will be sacrificing one bedroom and one bathroom for this but hopefully it will be worth it. Not to mention easier if/when we decide to blow this US popstand and never look back!

Coming to Saipan? When?

The manager at Aquarius is named William. He spent 90 minutes helping me try to get my locked keys out of my Jeep last Thursday.

They are one of the few hotels that hire mostly locals. Glad you're staying there.

Sounds cool Miss Indy! I expect photos ASAP.

But I wonder what's worse - those sirens or the the ganguro on bikes here?

That sounds so exciting! I know what a nice feeling it is to move. We're moving in two weeks and I can't wait!

2 blocks from the beach! Sounds like a dream come true to me!

We are ALWAYS open for visitors but have yet to play host - might have something to do with Florida being the furthest point from Australia and Japan... but for people across the pond it's just a hop, skip and flop, so come on down!

Granto - there are neither sirens nor bosozoku here, we're rejoicing in the serenity.

Good luck with your move medea, and thanks for introducing me to your blog! It's great! And you and your husband are also more than welcome to visit. :)
