Hello New York!

We’re here! Spent our first night eating huge slices of pizza and drinking beer and coke and watching the Oscars (that we’d seen being set up in LA) in our hotel room. First full day in New York we had 2 things to get done – bank account and ‘move in’ to our apartment.

Opening the bank account was pretty easy – sat in an office with our passports and a lady and filled out a bunch of paperwork, entered a bunch of passwords, smiled into a camera, tried out temporary Visa debit cards under her supervision and we were done! Money available immediately 🙂
