May Day!
It was gray and raining when I left Michigan Friday afternoon.
It was gray and raining when I arrived in New Jersey early this evening.
On the whole, the trip wasn't bad. LOTS of traffic from PA to NJ. I had the feeling that I was traveling at the end of some sort of holiday weekend. I saw a few accidents, but thankfully I was not one of them.
I stopped by an apartment complex that I've been interested in seeing. I hope to formally tour it tomorrow after my first day of work. It's in New Castle, DE.
Castlebrook is an older complex, but is well recommended by previous contractors. I was very excited to see how large a complex it is, how well maintained it looks, and how large the parking areas are. My Ram is a big truck to park. The parking situation was something I was looking for. I was also hoping for somewhere that I could take long walks. This already appears to fit the bill.
One picture is of an apartment - you can see it looks older.
One is of the office. You can see that it seems nicely maintained.
The last is of a typical parking area. The cars in the center are parked around a rather large median ... almost the size of a small park.
There are a few of these arrangements in the complex.
Many thanks to saintvi for provisions of food. I've not had to buy a thing other than gas since I left. I enjoyed half of a stuffed bell pepper this evening.

Looks like things are coming together nicely!! Glad you arrived safely.
I hope you get settled in well. I'm glad you had some home food with you, lessening expenses, but also keeping SaintVi close while you travel.
When you get an address, perhaps you can share it, so you can continue to get holiday cards and maybe the occasional letter. My Xanga expired, but I'm going to look into reinstating if I can.
Wishing you well in this new leg of your life journey.
Work starts today -- hopefully it will be satisfying enough to reward being away from home for so long! Glad the trip went well. That apartment complex looks ideal for "short-term," and I hope it's near where you'll be working!
