We're in!

Our backordered mattress finally arrived and we are now sleeping in our "air conditioned" bedroom in the house. The guesthouse was nice but its oh so good to be in our new home. We still don't have much in the way of furniture but that should change soon. Yesterday, we sent off my passport to the mover in Bangkok that will clear our household goods through customs. The shipment arrived yesterday and they say it will probably be next Wednesday before it get down to us. It's been so long since we packed it all up back in Vienna we can hardly remember what we shipped. It will be a bit like Christmas when we start unpacking.

The fancy washer/dryer combo we bought finally went back yesterday. The dryer just never did work right and there wasn't any technical support to figure out what the problem was. Several times Home Pro sent people out to look at it, but that all the did ... look at it! It was like they were looking at something from outer space. They would push a button, they stand back and look at it. Never once did anyone take off an access panel or even pull out a screwdriver. Needless to say, the service was extremely disappointing. And returning it has been equally as difficult.
