It has been one week since we arrived on this little island and we have been very busy the entire time. For the first couple of days we stayed in the luxury of the Hamilton Princess hotel where we had internet access, room service and beds. We were anxious to move into our new house (as was our bank account!), but because our shipment for Toronto had not yet arrived, we needed to rely on the kindness of strangers right away. A few people came to the rescue and offered mattresses for the floor, sheets and blankets, lawn chairs and a little table to put in our dining room, and one pot. With those things and some plastic plates and cutlery, we have quite nicely camped our way through the beginning of 2009. We are hopeful that all of our belongings will arrive on Thursday and we can start getting even more settled. In the meantime, we have enjoyed beautiful 70 degree weather, stunning views of the ocean, visits to see the dolphins and the zoo, and a very successful first day of school. Check out the picture of our boy in “P1”, as his grade is called.
