Packing/Travel Plans

[geminigirl]

Despite the horror that is packing (though the moveres will pack for us, there are some things that are such a disaster from the last move that I'm packing myself) there are very few things that aren't cheered up by twelve week old kittens. I don't know where the camera is, but we welcomed Widget Ferdinand Thunderpaws and Gizmo Elizabeth Thunderpaws into our home about four weeks ago. They're a wonderful distraction, and a bright spot in the day. The are at the moment curled up on the couch near me purring and wrestling and licking each other. Beta is less than thrilled, but he's getting used to them. I think it will be easier when we're in a new home all together and the space wasn't Oblivion's house. (It was very very obvious that Oblivion was our alpha cat when we had both cats...she really kept Beta in line.)

Our travel plans....

We're expecting to leave NJ some time on Friday evening, and drive to the DC metro area. We'll stay somewhere around there (we're making no hotel reservations, and letting the length of time we feel like driving determine our actual travel distance and stopping points) and hopefully be able to corral people into brunch/breakfast at around 10 AM on Saturday morning. (Side note...I could use some help on this, if someone in the DC-Local crowd might be willing to be the local point person for this, who would be willing to transcribe phone posts and be the point of contact for non-LJ friends.) Wherever we go, we'll chose something childfriendly (if you've got any suggestions, please post them, or e-mail me.)

Our route will basically take us down I-95, to I-4, in Florida. If you're along the I-95 corridor, south of the DC Metro area and would like to see us, let me know. We'll see what we can do.

Hey if you'd like to stop for short break, I'm right off I-4 at exit 101A What exit are getting off at for your new place?

Bummer! We're going to be in Harrisburg working on John's parents' computer on Saturday and Sunday. :-(

I bet the cats are adorable!

I've not been able to get the phone transcription thing to work for me. But, you should be able to count on us being there for breakfast with you guys. (We'd LOVE it if it was in Montgomery County, but understand if it will be elsewhere in the DC area.)

Suggestions: la madeleine? (hey, there's one in Rockville!)

Me! Me! Me! I desperately want to see you. And I am even along the 95 corridor at this point. I can't transcribe phone posts or I would volunteer to be point person. I have another box of clothes for you. Will you be in a position where you might be able to accept them on Sat or will the car be too full?

Daggynabbit!
