I am happy to report that our luggage has arrived. It got here yesterday afternoon....all 5 pieces including the stroller. We are much happier (and cleaner) people now. It was easy to settle into the place we will be calling home for the next couple of months. We are staying at a place called Treetops, which is considered a serviced apartment. Meaning we have housekeeping daily, continental breakfast M-F, free shuttle service to various parts of the city, gym, pool, etc. Basically I feel like I'm on vacation :) We have two bedrooms, two bath, kitchen and living area. The kitchen is equipped with a stove (no oven) and enough dishes and cutlery to get by.
Treetops is located on a quiet street right off of Orchard Road. The location is very convinent, as there are several grocery stores very close by. Many of the grocers are stocked with familiar products from the US and UK, however they don't share the same price tag. A container of cottage cheese $6, Newman's salad dressing $7 and a half gallon of organic whole milk $14 bucks. Wonder if they have coupons? :)
We are still working on our jet lag. Mark seems to be adjusting the best, thanks to his working the Asian shift in Chicago. Paige and I are hanging in there. We both took short naps the last few days and have been going to bed around 7pm. However, we've been waking up at 3am. Hopefully will be adjusted soon.
I haven't taken many pictures yet, but will post them when I do.

I can't come for a visit because I can't afford my cottage cheese there!!! Looks and sounds wonderful. Not all what I expected. (Paige--keep lookin' for "wooorrrs". It's just not Pacific NW dirt, that's all!)
hi, sorry your trip was a little smoother, but sounds like you are all adjusting well. We miss you!
