Arrived in California. It's 7 am Saturday morning but of course, we're wide awake thanks to the jetlag. We now need:
an apartment
two cars
US mobile phone numbers
a US bank account
a shaver
Let's see how far we can get in one day. I'm confident at least about the shaver.
(Update: at 3pm: we've got the shaver, a phone number, two bank accounts with credit cards, looked at an apartment and didn't like it. Oh, and a parking fine.)
