Well, we managed to survive the harrowing, three day trip, with a diesel moving truck so large we could have parked the car in it after it was fully loaded (Penske didn't have a proper sized truck available, despite a two-week old reservation). And, of course, with three cats, a 22 month old, and my mother (who is increasingly bitchy and ( Read more... )
