A quick update

Well, we know just a little more about timelines and such, but not too much.  I'm going to fly over the week of January 10 to do the walkthrough of the apartment and get the keys.  That way we can go straight into the apartment when we get there and don't have to wait to do the walkthrough.

I think we've decided to not have a car over there.  We have 2 metro stations within 2 blocks of our apartment.  If we got a car, parking would be a 5 to 10 minute walk away.  The public transportation system in Paris is amazing and we're going to take advantage of it.  It's a year of adventure, right?

As for our actual move date, we're still waiting.  We're trying to get an update on when my work visa will be ready.  My goal is to move the family over there before that time and get settled.  We're checking with the relocation company to make sure we aren't breaking any rules by doing that.  Now I'm just waiting to hear back on that.  Like the last several months... we wait.

For now, here are some other pics of the apartment. 

Here is the main living room.  The spiral stairs in the corner are the only way to get to the "Parent Apartment"
