Preparations continue

This dependent thing is not as easy as Websters would lead you to believe. Getting bank accounts ready for international banking, sounds easy but the fees and conversions can eat into your funds. We leave on Friday PM, fly to Frankfurt, explore the airport restaurants and currency exchanges and fly on to Budapest and should arrive at 14:10 on Saturday PM. (You will have to figure out the 24 or military time) We will be met at the airport by a driver with a big sign, Lisa is particularly excited about this, I'm concerned about what BLUNK means in Hungarian. I believe its a stew made from pig ears. We will spend several days at Mercure Budapest Duna, I think it's a hotel but it may be a auto dealership. We will meet with our apartment agent on Monday and hopefully be settled into an apartment in Buda. You may know, but, Budapest is actually two cities, Buda on the West side of the Danube and Pest on the East. There will be other references if this Blog continues.
