Greetings from somewhere near Dixie Caverns, Virginia. I'm going to attempt some road blogging via the Blogger app... please excuse any formatting challenges [edit: finally on a laptop!].
So Friday was Moving Out Day. Not fully Moving Day as we are doing this in phases, but this was definitively Phase 1. The movers showed up around 8am, took their sweet time, and left around 1pm with almost all of our stuff, most of which we had already packed up. What remained looked like this:
And after we packed it into our little VW Golf it looked like this:
We have packed in 550 lbs of wine and 400+ lbs of human and miscellaneous cargo, bumping up against the max payload and putting complete faith in quality German engineering over the next few days and 3000+ miles.
Our first stop on Friday after departing New York was a trip to northern New Jersey (slightly wrong direction!) where we enjoyed the excellent company, cooking, and hospitality of old friends Brian and Jamie Weinstein, along with a bonus visit with Larry and Shelly and lots of tickles from the Weinstein's kids. It all culminated in a fittingly warm and happy sendoff on our journey West.
(Thanks guys!)
