We have a queen bed and it is very comfortable. We sleep with just a sheet. We turn the AC on a couple of hours before bed and then turn it off when we retire because it is very noisy and so far we have slept comfortably. It rained last night and woke us up and it sounds very loud when it hits the AC unit. We will get used to it and not even notice when it rains.

Our couch and love seat in the living room are very nice looking, but a smoker lived here 2 tenants ago and it smells of stale smoke. Dad stuffs up when he sits on it. I don't enjoy the smell either. We aren't sure what we will do. It was a great place for our scripture study and to just relax. We may try covering it with our extra sheets, but that will look rather tacky!
We are delighted to have as nice of an apartment as we do by Trinidad standards.

We are struggling with the language! They use tons of slang, speak fast, and softly. All of the office couples say they can't understand the Trinis either. We don't communicate often enough with them to get better. We try to talk to the people in the shops at lunch for more practice. Some are easier than others.
