Our trip here was long. Altogether we were traveling for 27 hours. Yup. Me, Barb, our 6 pieces of luggage plus 3 cats! First stop was Boston where we got to see the cats and meet Sean for dinner, which was especially nice b/c our flight to Zurich was delayed. In fact it was delayed so much that we wouldve missed our connection to Athens so pretty much everything had to be switched around so we could make it to Larnaca at the right time to be picked up by this guy from the embassy whose number we didnt have. It all worked out though. The cats were admitted into the country with (almost) no problems. We got in around midnight and home around 2 AM and first thing the guy told Barb was that she was expected to be in a meeting at work at 8:30 AM. Yes, he was serious. And Barb went. And I slept. A lot.
Now I'm sitting in our apt in nicosia. It is just a temporary place for about 3 weeks until the people move out of "our" house and it gets cleaned and painted. The temporary apartment is huge - it could fit 2 of our dc houses in it. And supposedly the house is even bigger. It's weird, we aren't going to know what to do with the space. I hope we don't lose the cats! This apt is right across from the embassy so that's been really convenient. Barb can walk to work, come home for lunch (and wake me up b/c I can't seem to manage to get my ass out of bed before 1 PM, damn jetlag), and I can go over to the embassy to use the gym, post office, etc. Our house won't be as convenient but I guess it will have its own perks, we'll see.
The weather is awesome. Hot during the day but around 5 PM there is a wonderful breeze that totally cools everything down. There are palm trees everywhere, flowers, fruit growing on trees...it's beautiful. Not that I've been awake enough to really enjoy it, but jetlag can't last THAT long, right?
