Home sweet home

Apartment hunting in a foreign country has proven to be much easier than we originally expected. Thanks to the affluence on the island, most places are in great shape, furnished by North American standards and close to town. We were warned that there would be sacrifices to make, either in location, furnishings or landlords, and that is pretty much what we found at each place. We saw some dives that had plaster falling off the walls, iguanas lounging on the walls and holes in the bathtubs, then we saw some places that had flats screen t.v's mounted above closets, bbq's that they landlords paid for and bought propane for, and trendy stone tiles washrooms. Thankfully our search is over, and we have settled on something in between. We hopefully ( because we haven't put the deposit in quite yet) will be moving into our South Sound apartment next week. It is right across the road from the turquoise Caribbean Sea and a minute's drive to a sandy beach. It is fully furnished with the necessary hurricane shutters, dishwasher, bedroom with access to the deck, a view of our apartment's pool and central bbq centre, and right beside the tennis courts. The only sacrifice we had to make was the traffic circle behind the apartment (oops..I should say "round-about") which can be a bit busy and the lack of a pull out couch, which means you will most likely be sleeping on the floor when you visit! All of this for the bargain basement price of $1200 Caymanian Dollars- the equivalent of about $1586 Canadian. So- we can't wait to show you all around when you come-but bring a sleeping bag!!!!
