Days Two & Three: Assessing the Mess


Nov 17 2008—Somewhat of an “assess the mess” day, rearrange, clean, finish packing, and stay sane—day. Plenty of the above to go around, so we welcomed the extra day even though I can’t wait to get on the road.

Nov 18 2008—This is the day! We wake to snow—just a light dusting—and a cool breeze. And after a one day delay—too much stuff, not enough containers—we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and figure that the snow is just a way of the universe telling us to get on our way. The last moving pod arrives at 11:30am and we leave at 4:20pm—just in time for the ABF to come get the last two pods. We make a quick stop at the chiropractor and get on the thruway. At 8pm we arrive in Red Bank, NJ, our stopover for the night. We get a good night’s sleep in front of a roaring fire, a breakfast of bagel’s and lox, and at 11am, we’re on our way south the next morning. Thanks Amy, Anthony, Ava, Amanda, & AJ--See you in California!!
