Our Digs

One of the things that is nice about working with a travel company, is that sometimes we will get some rather nice housing while on assignment.

The travel company, as a part of the contract for the assignment, will arrange for, and provide housing as a part of the compensation. Where the housing is, and how nice it will be is really determined based on the assignment location. For our current assignment, we are living in a VERY nice house. This is mostly due to the fact that the area is so sparsely populated, and there are very few options other than vacation rentals.

We are currently residing in a vacation rental house, approximately 3 blocks from the beach, and about 7 blocks from the downtown area. Both are reasonably walkable.




This is not the house we are living in. But it is a very nice house, and a pretty good representation of the neighborhood we live in. The whole area seems like we're living in a Norman Rockwell painting.








This particular house has a screened-in porch in the back, and a rather large porch in the back as well. There was some patio furniture and a barbecue listed as available when we looked at the listing, but as of yet have not been able to get access to those.





These are both features that I don't imagine will be in every place we live, either. Since it's detached, it has its' own mailbox. And in the front of the house is a sun room with a pair of comfy chairs.






This could very well prove to be another arch-nemesis of mine. When it starts snowing, having a 15+ foot driveway could prove to be a lot of shoveling. Definitely going to park the car as close as possible to the end of the driveway when the weather starts turning really badly.




Being in a new location so often could prove difficult, but it is really nice knowing that we will be well taken care of, and comfortable while we are there.
