We finally go the keys to the apartment.. its big! There are some things that we need to make sure get done to it, but things will get there and things will be good.
We went to Ikea and bought all of our furniture and things we needed like cups, trash cans etc.. Getting there was quite an interesting ride. The F train is under maintenance so it dropped us off and we had to take a shuttle into downtown Brooklyn. From there we needed to take another bus to the Ikea store, we decided to stop and get some delicious pizza before going. The bus ride was... ok I guess, nothing different from a Tucson City bus, rather just busier.
Ikea was a fun and exhausting experience. We spent 6.5 hours there!!! They had a fantastic deal of delivery for only 49$, so we HAD to get it all!! hahaha. We went through the whole show room picking up stuff and choosing color schemes, we then started to write all the numbers down of all the stuff we wanted. David kept checking amount to make sure we were within budget. Well there are only 2 of us a waaaaay too much stuff to take so we had to do everything in 2 trips. Went through the delivery section and can now expect all of our stuff today. 6 carts of stuff later we were out of the store by 9:20pm.
Since the delivery for all of our stuff wouldn't be at our apartment until today, we had to get another hotel room. So we called Athena (thanks again) to do that "name your own price" for another night in a hotel. We got a great deal in Murray Hill. Getting to Manhattan was a bit more complicated since our train was under maintenance so we had to take 4 different transfers to make it into manhattan, made it to bed at around 11:00pm. We had to take the bus back to downtown Brooklyn, then figure it our from there. Thank goodness for maps and intuition!
We have been cleaning the apartment today and getting it ready for when all those boxes get to our front door. However today will be a short day since I have to be out the door by 5:30am for orientation!
