Short term let/rental (organised by a company that does lettings on behalf of companies for returning staff) then spending all our free time house hunting. :)

Check Craig's list for short term lets (or long term if you want to take a bet without seeing something)?

We just moved into our proper (bought) home this weekend (2 months after getting back to the USA).
