Arriving in Redmond

By jackvalmadre

I touched down at Seattle airport at 12.10pm, after leaving Brisbane at 12.05pm the same day. :D We stopped over in LA from 7-9.30am.

The three other Brisbane interns (that we know of) on the flight were Matt, John and Tom. Tom had opted for a rental car from Seattle-Tacoma airport, so he drove us all to Redmond. It was pretty nerve-racking driving on the right hand side of the road – left turns especially – but he picked it up in no time!

Concentration.

Safely made it to Timberlawn to pick up the keys.

I’m staying in a 2 bedroom apartment at Trails of Redmond, Matt’s sharing a 2 bedroom apartment with David from Western Australia at Timberlawn, Tom and John have studio apartments at Homestead Hotel. I haven’t heard whether I’ll be sharing the accommodation with anyone yet.

My place is the left side, middle floor.

And here’s a few snaps I took when I was walking through the Microsoft campus last night.
