Going to Seattle

[cos]

I'm transferring to a team at Google Seattle, much to my surprise (well, to the surprise of me a month ago or anytime in the past few decades, more accurately). Planning to move there, along with Alice, around early February, but keeping the house in Cambridge with intent to return in a few years...

Oh, we also have to figure out how to move a

Erk! Well, luck with the move! :)

Wow! That's quite the news!

If you want, you can fly with the cat under your seat.

You must've flown with your cats. Did you take both on the same flight?

I guess as long as there were no bags of pasta around, they could've been trusted to just hide quietly in the dark.

No, when I moved from Toronto to Cambridge a friend drove them down a few weeks after I got here. I was planning on flying them out with me (and a friend, because you can only take one cat per person) for the move to SF, but then I fell in love with Cambridge instead. ;-)

I totally forgot about the Egg Noodle Incident!

Congratulations?

[cos]

I think so? :)

Wow! Have a fun adventure.

Certainly! Also I will probably visit the Bay Area a bit more than in recent years.

will you be driving or flying there?

when my family moved from Wisconsin to Florida, we owned a passenger minivan, and drove down with the cat.
Clyde was allowed to roam loose, with food, water & litterbox set out for him.
We also got some sedatives from the vet. He was kept heavily sedated the first day, and we tapered it off over the trip.
The only problem I remember involved my father having to slam on the breaks just as Clyde was stepping into the litterbox - partly tipping it over.

iff you're driving, so long as the car isn't totally jam-packed with stuff, you should be able to do something similar in the back seat area.

good luck!

Don't know yet, maybe both. Well, certainly flying many times! But maybe a drive, too.
