We’re going “to beeeeeee a part of it! New York! New Yo-ooorrrk!”
YIPEEEEEEE it’s official. We’re off to live in New York next March for 4 months. It’s a dream come true. We’ve been working on plans with Xero for a while now to find a time when we could work from home and we choose that home to be an apartment somewhere in Manhattan. And we’ve finally made it happen.
We’re going in March so that we get 4 months before the height of summer, and so that we have a decent amount of time there during baseball season. It’s going to be freezing in March, and quite changeable – I’ve been looking at the temperatures over the last couple of years – anything ranging from daytime highs of minus 7 to 25!!
We’re in the throes of organising airfares and investigating furnished short term rentals. It’s going to be a big change for us and our teams – although we have quite a few people working remotely now so I’m sure we’ll all just adapt.
It’s just so great Xero can let this happen for us. I can’t explain the breathless excitement and bursting feeling in my heart sometimes when I realise it’s going to happen. Not quite counting the days but definitely watching our spending – obviously this will not be a cheap exercise and the last thing we want to worry about when we’re there is running out of money. And trying not to think that we WILL have to come home.

First off – LOVE THE ORANGE TEXT!!!
This is such exciting news!!! I was just looking for deals to NY in January for a weekend my hubbie’s birthday (I want to take him to the Met. He LOVES opera but has never been to the Met, which is simply not on!), but we may have to postpone that trip til April now….It would be great to meet you!
Hi! I’ve been missing you my orange friend! yes it is inSANEly exciting news although so busy at work right now I don’t have much time to think about it. I’d say we’ll definitely be coming to Chicago to visit family so will have to go to one of your local coffee haunts with you. Will keep you posted 🙂
You’re coming to Chicago?!!? That is AWESOME!! (o: It’ll be a pleasure grabbing a cuppa with you. I’ll just have to narrow it down. I have my favorites, but now I’ll have to go and check out Metropolis, Noble Tree and Sip before you get here to make an informed decision.
Keep me posted!
