GG, that is a very good observation! The first two months after we arrived were a blur of shopping for clothes, linens, small appliances, dishes, palm trees, etc. It didn't help that we'd decided to buy all our furniture at Bargains and Treasures so we had to visit there several times a day to get the 'treasures'.

After a couple of months of frantic shopping, we came to our senses, started to relax, settle in and meet people. TOTV was our lifeline to meeting new friends.
