The MOVE
It all began harmlessly enough... lunch with a girl friend, a suggestion that the house market was good for sellers NOW(!!), and the RACE was on!! One month after we decided to sell the house it sold an hour and a half after listing. We moved 4 weeks after that, the rest is...well...

We found early on that we had way too much stuff!

But with the help of many dear friends...

who kept a great sense of humor about them...

and
even whistled a bit..
we were able to finally..

Hit the road...
Actually it wasn't quite that simple. For a more detailed description of the departure fiasco click here.
The shortened version is this...once we got out of the metro area things finally began to run smoother. For the next 8 days we saw many beautiful sights and had many interesting encounters with wild animals.
