Hi ya!
M and I got into to Tel Aviv Sunday night, had an early (at least, early for us) dinner, then hit the hay... where I did a lot of tossing and turning and very little sleeping. M was out like a light, so unfair.
Monday, we met up with our "relocation specialist" and started the process of choosing where to live. Tel Aviv is about 1 to 1.5 hours from my work, but certainly a fun alive place. But the price of fuel is SSSsooooooooo expen$ive, and the apartments so overpriced for what you get, that I decided to move closer in to work, but still on the Mediterranean.
I chose an awesome apartment, quite near a marina and a beach. It's got rooms and bathrooms galore, so pleanty of space for visitors. I'll take pictures soon. It's a brand new place, and will still take about one month to be move-in ready. (They still have to install AC, appliances, furniture, etc)
With the skewed work week, I work Sunday through Thursday officially, though because of the work I do with my teams back in the US, I also put in hours from 7pm to Midnight+ on Monday through Friday so I can actually meet and interact with them. Then, I have to swim, eat, bike, and sleep. Oh, the life....
