Here we come Austin (and Don)

We will be heading back home tonight. It's Saturday morning here. Honestly, here at the hotel, breakfast is included and is my favorite meal of the day! So see, I love breakfast, and apparently can be a morning person, but I just need someone to prepare it for me. Haha! 

This blog will host what all I can think to write about the remainder of our stay here this week, since my last blog. I'll be posting photos of our three choices of where we would like to live. Our real estate agent is negotiating them for us. Hmmm.. I think I'll start there. I'm sure you're all excited to see them, as much as I am excited to show them to you. So here goes: 

Choice #3 - at Palm Meadows in Whitefield - Unfurnished

That's Malini our real estate agent, standing in front of the house.

 Entrance into the house.

Looking out the entrance from inside the house.

Beautifully etched cabinet in kitchen.

Slightly blurry but it's the washer and dryer in the utility room.

Cabinet storage for giants (in the living space, ground floor).

By the way, in India and basically the rest of the world (outside the U.S.) people call the first floor the ground floor and the top floor is the first floor. So there ya go. Tidbit of info to carry with ya.

Storage space in garage. Yes, garage! It's the only house out of our choices that has a closed in garage.

View of outside of house, looking towards balcony.

 View of dining area. No, the fridge will be moved closer to the kitchen and yes, that is weird.

View of kitchen. Yes, it actually has an oven! Most houses here do NOT have ovens. The oven actually has a rotisserie in it too. Two of our house choices have ovens.

 Closet in one bedroom. 

Staircase to upstairs.

Living room on ground floor.

Upstairs family room. Near the family room is another room that is the study. 
I don't have a photo of that but what a great place for me to work.

Ok, I know that's a lot of photos and if you made it this far then, thank you! I think we did well for the few days we had to find a place to live. Now let's hope the rest all goes smoothly. Things are still being negotiated by the real estate agent. We are also still not 100% sure which we really want but we think this is ordered the way we want it. I'm sure any of the homes will suffice. They are all very nice. 

I've taken many more photos and there's a lot more to write about but our day is coming to an end here. We need to get ourselves all packed up, have some wonderful dinner and get ready to head to the airport. I won't lie, it'll be good to get back to my bed and my cute lil poochie, Max. 

Then it will be time to focus on a last couple of projects for people, packing for the relocation and plenty of rest. I'll see many of you soon and if not, I'm sure I'll comment on your posts on Facebook or something. Take care everyone and remember to check for more posts in a few days. I have more photos to show. Good morning Austin!

Love, love, love them all! I think I'm leaning toward the first house (top of the page). But then I'd want a garage. Not that it's MY decision ... LOL!

Good luck!
