Housing is much smaller than you are used to. Here is a site to give you an idea:

Oh thanks! Didn't realize there was another....usually my Google map just says Schwalbach! Kinda like Frankfurt am Main?!

I have been all over the immobilienscout and immoworld.de websites checking out places just to get an idea of what is avail in certain price ranges and areas. An email we received today says July 1st start date now which is probably putting any of the transatlantic cruises out of the running unless we can work out getting into an apartment early. I think they only cover 2 wks hotel and 2-3 wks rental car. At least we got our housing allowance confirmed at 1000 Euro. That is the amount we were expecting.

I hope we get the rest of our financial details next week. They are really dragging this stuff out! We have been working on this since September and dates keep changing. Hard to live a life here in NC not knowing our future!
