So much ago..and a new apartment!

We were talking about when we made our decision to pursue moving to Prague.  It was late January of this year.  Funny, we said it seemed so long ago,  but actually it wasn't.  Brian said, "It was just so much ago!"  We have done many things in a short amount of time and things have been in a whirlwind.  Now we're just along for the ride!

Our relocation agent, Dana, sent us some ideas for apartments.  We felt really good about the first offer she sent, but wanted to take our time.  We put the first offer on google maps and discovered it was across the street from a large park.  It appeared to be a great location, was furnished, affordable, sunny, and has a balcony.  After a couple of days talking in circles, we decided we should just get it.  Might as well be spontaneous, right? 

An overseas wire transfer is another thing.  Since we needed to put a deposit down to hold the property, we tried for an entire day to translate and obtain the information we needed from the Czech bank.  FYI, IBAN stands for International Bank Account Number and you will need a Swift code as well.  Whew!

Here is the link to our new apartment:
