We have arrived!

We arrived in sunny Houston yesterday afternoon after a slightly nerve racking experience. Claire's passport and visa were delivered at 0805 in the morning so that we could catch the 1200 flight from Gatwick! After a very nice and relaxing experience in Business First we landed at around 1600 CST and experieced the ever so pleasent American Border Control staff (we are not longer friends with them). Since then our experience has been much more relaxing. We were greeted by a very friendly taxi driver who did not raise an eyebrow to carrying, loading and unloading our 8 bags. The hotel we are staying in is pleasent and clean and in the out of town area of Clear Lake. The weather is very good - about 30degC, sunny and not too humid.

This morning we woke up early due to the jet lag, took a taxi Downtown and collected our hire car (or should I say "rental"). This afternoon we are taking a tour of the area with our relocation agent to get ourselves adjusted.

We'll keep you all posted!
