An Interesting Week

The week started with Memorial Day for New Yorkers and a visit to the Carnegie Deli for the Freemans for a pastrami on rye, unbelievable! Strolled around Central Park on a humid, hot day.

Things got interesting on Tuesday, just about to sign off on the lease for the apartment when our agent informed us that the deal was off because the apartment was only available for 2 months not the 7 we needed. Nothing anyone could do so back to square 1!!
Not a good couple of days, Mets beaten by Pittsburg Pirates and new apartment search not going well. Had to repack a little earlier than planned as we had to move rooms within the Chelsea brownstone to help the landlord out as well, but on the upside we got a free nights accommodation.

"A Met's Fan!"

Come Saturday the apartment search improved dramatically. We had to change our parameters a little but we've found a brand new apartment in the right location. A bit of messing around to actually move in but it should all work out eventually.
We decided to get out of Manhattan for a few days and have come over to Staten Island, a 25 minute free ferry ride away from Manhattan, goes right past that statue. No wonder people catch the ferry to Staten Island and go straight back, but at least we can kick back for a few days.

Hope to have all the paperwork in place by the end of this week for the apartment.

Back to a Manhattan hotel on Thursday for a few days then we're off to Washington DC for the US Open Golf Championship.

Till next time
