Back at 8002

Posted on by Ian C.

Margaret and I flew back down to Florida today (on much-better-than-the-rest JetBlue), this time for more than a weeks vacation – and with Kate flying over from England to join us!

We shipped four big boxes of stuff ahead of us, including a new “one-cup-now” coffee maker like the one we have at home, an older PC I had at home that can stay down here, and a satellite dish and tools to install it:

I’d hoped to bring an eBay-purchased Tivo satellite receiver with me, but had problems getting it enabled in time for the trip … so still no TV down here (except via SlingBox!)

Updating 8002

Posted on by Ian C.

Our second trip down to 8002, and we changed loads of things!
We had to rent a minivan – it was a last minute trip over a holiday weekend, and they restrict rentals to force the price up! But we used this minivan to transport loads of stuff, so that’s OK 🙂


One major change was to put a new king size bed in our master bedroom – and we moved the queen that was in there to bedroom #3 (instead of the two singles that were there before):


Also, in bedroom #4, we replaced the double bed with a single – the plan is to make this room into a study (it already has internet and a printer, it just needs a computer and a desk!):

 

Finally, outside the front door we have our first flower – I guess it’s always spring time down here 🙂
