"Going Mobile"

This is our first entry in this journal which will chronicle a new stage in our life, which at this point, is an uncharted adventure. We sold our house, boat and one car all within one week of putting them for sale "by owner". We can only explain the great luck we had in "going mobile" as GOOD KARMA. We are putting everything in storage and looking for a new "warmer" place to settle. Packing up our house proved to be a huge task taking all of the time we had prior to closing. On Friday, Sept 18th, we finished loading the moving truck and took off on a 300 mile journey to put our possessions in storage. The weather was a perfect.....everything fit on the truck! I managed to be a capable "truck driver". Our "good karma" continued passing through Chicago at rush hour with very light traffic. We unloaded everything into our storage facility on Saturday, including our Miata. Again, the weather was perfect and everything fit with a little room to spare. We spent the following week visiting family and old friends in Illinois and Indiana. We leave on our driving journey to the west coast on Sunday, September 27.
