We've Arrived

We arrived in Dublin on Saturday and since then have managed to get settled in and find an apartment.  We're still working on getting our bank account, PPS numbers (the Irish equivalent of a SSN), my permanent resident card to allow me to stay more than 6 months, among other things.

Our apartment is a short walk from Richard's work and pretty much right in the center of town.  We looked at about nine apartments and this one was an obvious choice.  It has two bedrooms, and we're still deciding if we want to keep a bed in the second, since this will also serve as my office when I start working from home.  We want to make sure there is a comfortable bed for our (hopefully) many visitors!

Here are a few photos of our new (furnished!) apartment.

  1. Looks like you found a great place in a great location! What is your address? What train stop do we get off on from the Dublin airport. I booked our flights to arrive in Dublin on August 24th (see info below). We are in Old Town Frankfurt right now just wandering around. We met Sofie last night and she showed us around the city, took us out to get Apple Wine (a Frankfurt special) and then over to her flat. She is so sweet and reminds me so much of Richard...her mannerisms, accent and lifestyle in general. We are also meeting up with Sofie tonight for drinks! Thanks for the travel advice Richard and Kelsey and for responding to my emails. We need all the help we can get! We are figuring out how to order and get around. Scott actually knows a bit of German so that helps. We are having a heat wave here in Frankfurt...how is the weather in Dublin? We are trying to convince Sofie to come meet up with us sometime on our travels this summer on a long weekend. If you guys can do the same than that would be so much fun! We are going to Greece, Bosnia, Croatia, Hungary, and Czech. Love you and enjoy getting settled in Dublin. Richard: are you enjoying your new job? Here is our flight information:
