There and still there

In a sense we've come a long way on our trip. But in another, more accurate sense, we're still in Pasadena. We spent all day Tuesday cleaning out Rob's apartment and cramming his stuff into the 19 foot truck he had rented from Budget. Around 10 pm last night we finally got on the road. But as soon as we got above 50 mph the truck started rocking back and forth. I thought it was going to tip over. Rob slowed down, but it got worse. We pulled over and called Budget. They thought we were overloaded. Apparently we had done too good a job of packing. So we drove over to Peter's house and stayed there last night. Today we got a bigger truck and moved all the stuff over. The guys at the truck rental place said it was the most stuff they've ever seen crammed into a 19 foot truck. Right now we're just waiting for rush hour to end so we can get on the road.

Good work on the packing. Everytime Meredith and I move that is like the number 1 thing on my mind is how efficently everything is packed. However, I am not good at it.

I’m always surprised/shocked by how much stuff a baby requires when going on a trip… And also by how much stuff will actually fit in the trunk of an Acheiva!

Dangit! You were in Pasadena! That is 15 minutes from my house. Oh well, I guess we will have to meet another time.

Dave, Actually I thought about you being close, but after getting 1.5 days behind schedule we didn’t really have any spare time. I hope we’ll get to meet sometime.

Danny, I thought it was only a 15 foot truck. - Tim

That’s right, it was 15′.
