Welcome to the grand re-opening of the Charter hotel....

It is almost time to move in.  We received the keys today.  The inspection was scheduled for 9Am and when we arrived we were met by the inspector and the owner.  A very nice man who is apparently very busy right now as he is a very high ranking government official in charge of regulating banks.  Everything that we asked them to do for the apartment has been completed with the exception of replacing the opaque window in one of the bedrooms but he said that the glass was on order and should arrive soon.

Again, the new place just feels like home.  It is smaller but much more cozy and comfortable.  we will not have any problem with storage space as we saw the cave (cellar) today and it is the biggest we have seen so far.  More than adequate space for Christmas decorations and seasonal clothes and wine.

The movers arrive tomorrow morning to pack up our air shipment and the stuff we have purchased since our arrival.  They will then move it to the new place and begin delivering our sea shipment.  They hope to finish early on Friday.

Will post pictures within the next few days as we get settled.

The hotel is officially open for business next week.  We will have our first guest this week as Julia's mum, Moya, will arrive to help us move in and spend time with Samuel so that we can deal with the movers and unpacking.

The cats should be fine as we plan on leaving them in the old apartment until the movers are finished at the new place.  We hope to have the whole family together again by Friday evening.

Phone numbers should not change. New address is:

109 Avenue Charles de Gaulle

Neuilly-sur_seine, 92200

France

It is easy to get to us from Charles de Gaulle airport or gare de nord(trains).   From either location you only have to change metro/rer once to arrive about 100 yards from our front door.
