Our first shipment of stuff has arrived!
Our belongings were shipped in three components, the stuff we were allowed to take on the plane - about 50 lb each, a 600 pound air shipment, and a 40 foot container coming by ship. The first obviously travelled with us, the second arrived yesterday, and the third takes 4-6 weeks.
We put mostly computer stuff in the second shipment and that is what arrived yesterday. That's the good news.
The bad news is first, there is no place to put this stuff. We are already crammed in the townhouse. Most of it, definately the clothing, will just stay in boxes till we move in to the house.
However the real bad news is the kids' computer. I mentioned in an earlier post about the difference in electricity. No one mentioned a key component, the fact that there is a 120/240 switch on the back of the computers that you have to switch. So Mom got the new UK plugs for the kids computer and plugged it in and POW - it blew up. Now we know about the switch, but are scared to plug them in anyway.
The fun never ends ...
