The Kitchen Sink Weblog: Tales from Sun's internet facing edge

Interesting link/article given that we are in the process of moving from the house we've sold into one of these residence inns (not Extended StayAmerica, but the same concept) for approximately six months until the new home we're building is completed. Yeah, I know -- timing is everything ;-)

I can't truly comment, but having seen the place we will call "home" for the next six months, I strongly imagine that at the end of that period my wife and I will both be very anxious to return to a more "normal" home. Still, it is a fine option.

Turns out that having the movers pick up and store almost all of our household furnishings until they deliver them back to the new house was considerably cheaper than doing a double pack and move, not to mention a whole lot easier. The big tricky issue is to make absolutely certain that we get everything to the suite that we'll need for the next six months. Once the movers have it packed and stored it is, for all intents and purposes, inaccessible until the move to the new house happens.
