The first 24 hours are done and dusted.
Not a bad start. The relocation is in full swing, we have landed in the land of the free and a certain husband is a legal alien. Hurrah.
As a side note: I know of a number of people who had some fairly depressing experiences with the US Immigration service. I have to take a moment to say this was not our experience. Everyone was friendly, everything was smooth and straightforward and no complaints at all.
So after a pretty much 24 hour day, we got to our hotel in Norcross and crashed.
Day 1
Awake at 6am. Of course. Slow getting up, prepare our itinerary for the day and head out for breakfast. Now, as it was my first breakfast as a US resident I had to get all my favourites. Well, almost all, but my breakfast did include eggs, sausage, bacon pancakes and toast. Grits were on the table, of course.
We spent the day looking at apartments, basically all over Buckhead and MidTown. So far so happy, liking what we see.
Stopping here and there we spoke with people where we could. In one cafe' we came across an owner from Surrey (!) and he and his employees gave us a brilliant 20 minute description of various Atlanta neighbourhoods.
Of course: we had to stop at Rite Aid. No, we really did, we needed cereal and milk for the next day's breakfast.
And dinner in old town Norcross, a Cuban bistro called Mojitos, with delicious food and live music.
Good start.
More later.
