Road trip EOD #1

All the key parts of the move happened in the best possible way. With the advice and assistance of the Hertz lady, I was able to upgrade to a boat of a vehicle----a Suburban. I successfully navigated back to the apartment without running over anything (or anyone).

After a few trips around the block, a parking spot opened up at the far end of the block--not optimal but no streets to cross when loading the car.

However....the goddess of parking was happy with me and as I brought out my first load, the car in front of the apartment pulled out! I scurried and voila! fewer steps for loading. Never mind the ticket I got for not having a sticker on my car....in a public parking spot?! Oh well, a small price to pay.

I packed that car to capacity and got it ALL in! Whew. Without the extra room in the big car I would have been SOL.

The drive started out lovely - sunny and beautiful country to see. But I must admit that several hours of mountain driving tired me out. Up, down, curve, curve, lots of semis and five or seven percent grades made for very active driving.

I made it to Huntington, West Virginia and decided to call a halt to playing road warrior for the day. Min has been a great companion and as you can see is tuckered out.

Now to rest up for tomorrow! G'night!

Yeah for having a Min on your trip. Safe travels. Oh, how I would wish to have been there with you. :D

Haha. "Dirty Laundry" on XM makes me smile, for some reason.

Happy trails!!

Thank goodness that Minion is dressed for adventure! I hope today's drive is uneventful and safe.

You should have got a black one like all the FBI vehicles. We are all thinking of you as you wind your way homeward.

Thank goodness you had a minion to help you drive and protect you at night!
