Welcome

I started my day today at 3:30 am Eastern in Bloomington and arrived in San Jose around 12:45 pm Pacific. It has been a pretty long day of travel.

The trip was fairly uneventful. I went back through the Dallas airport today where I was just last weekend. I almost felt like I was retracing my steps.

After I got into San Jose I checked in to my temporary apartment. I have two weeks from today to find a more permanent place to live. I am hoping since I am out here I will be able to get something. Apartments out her go so quickly.

My corporate apartment is nice, it is a good sized place right off of the pool. The closest grocery store is a Japanese grocery store. It is about the size of a regular grocery store unlike the Asian grocery stores in Bloomington. They had a few American brands but pretty much everything was not in English. I bought a few things of noodles and some tiny frozen fruit popsicles that are exotic flavors.

The closest American style grocery store is about 8 blocks away so I am going to go there tomorrow to get some things like cereal etc.

The area I am in right now is very car centric. I am hoping to move someplace where there is more stuff within walking distance.

I start work on Monday. I think that is when it will stop feeling like a vacation.
