We have had a very good week indeed. On Monday we got the call that our liquor license had been approved, and then today we heard from Immigration that our Long Term Business Visa had been granted. Even though I knew we had a very solid business plan, I lost lots of sleep waiting for the official word. Whew!
We've got the employment ads in the paper, Tyler and Malcolm did liquor school today, and everything else is moving right along. We may have to tweak one sign (the one with the arrow) to meet sign codes, but they are on order and in progress.
We have a very nice espresso machine on order, but have decided to add one little bit of Americana to the menu . . . a cuppa Joe. Not only is it troublesome to find the coffee, it's pretty much impossible to find a commercial drip coffee machine. The only place you can get drip or brewed coffee in all of Auckland is at Starbucks. Now you can at Mexicali Fresh as well. Actually, JB, Mike and Conor are probably the only ones who will be drinking it. Americans are such heathens when it comes to coffee!

Congratulations on the long term visa. You wouldn't have wanted to see someone else walk in and take over.
Good luck on the "down and dirty" coffee idea. Gotta keep those guys happy! Now we know what to have Emily bring when she comes to visit.
Thanks for the updates and great pictures. and oh, by the way, as far as March Madness goes, I follow the ABD plan to pick my winner: Anybody But Duke! Ha ha
