April 12 - Getting ready

Things are finally all starting to fall into place. Passports, visas, plane tickets, train tickets, apartments, foreign money transfers ... the whole nine yards.

We finally found a place to live in Zurich and the location is perfect -- close to downtown and the Google office. Nate's cousin Randi also agreed to rent our Portland house for the three months we're gone, so we'll be able to keep it and have a home to come home to in August. Everything is really working out.

Our calendar is also filling up pretty fast with visitors. I think at this point we have more time with family and friends than without during our three month trip. Never a dull moment!

We also decided on a pre-Zurich vacation spot. We're going over a week early and spending it in the little town of Vernazza, Italy on the Italian Riviera. Nate's office-mate gave it a high recommendation from when he visited with his wife a couple years ago, and after seeing a few pictures [1] [2], how could we say no?
