We have arrived!
We are now at our new home in Thailand!! It is a gorgeous house, and way nicer than what we've had in the states. We even have a yard and a hammock!! It is really a fabulous house and we are so fortunate to have it. It's close to the school, only a few minutes by car, and in a gated community. But like any house, it does have its nuances, and we've had quite the orientation to our new house. It sounds like we will have a good time! Here are some excerpts from the letter the house owners left us:
"There are many keys for the rooms of the house left in a small white pail. I never used them, so I don't know which keys are for which rooms, but some of the doors have a tendency to lock without you meaning to lock them."
"A/C unit in master bedroom works but the 'low' and 'high' indicators for the fan are switched."
"Apparently, the pesticide sprayers are supposed to come each third Thursday of the month; however, I only found that out because the man came on the second Monday of July and asked if he could spray or not...so I guess they just come whenever they can."
"The back passenger door of the car will open, but you must lit up on the door lock while opening the door."
"An anti-theft device is located in the glove compartment and can be triggered simply if door is shut too hard or if someone's knee brushes against the glove box door." This anti-theft device stops the car and won't let you start the car again until the switch is flipped back.
So there are definitely some fun quirks to things here. We're looking forward to discovering more on our own! We'll try to put up pictures of our new place tomorrow.

Really amazing! Keep working. I enjoyed me visit.
