October 22.
We’re on our way. On Monday, we packed and repacked and repacked again in an effort to fit everything into the U-Haul truck. By nighttime we thought we had it figured out how to fit so much stuff in a finite space. We woke Tuesday morning to rain and just a few more things that didn’t quite fit. We repacked one more time with the help of Kami’s sister Shelly and our friend Richard Gallagher. By 9:20 we were on the road to Seattle. By 3pm we had unloaded the truck in Seattle and repacked everything into a larger, 20 foot container. A huge fork lift picked it up and took it away. It is already on a ship sailing to Sitka.
Kami and Shelly packed the truck by themselves! (No, not really) Richard and Jimmie Helped
We are now all wedged into our Subaru Forester (not the biggest car in the world) Two adults, a growing pre-teen, and two cats with all the stuff needed for a week long trip through Canada. It's crowded. Our cat Blackberry was voted the grouchiest mammal on the trip so far. She bites Luna and hisses at anyone who tries to pet her.
We spent the night at the Westin Seattle with a nice view of the Space Needle. The hot tub was a great relief for our tired muscles. We ate Chinese food last night and are now blown up like sausages from all the salt. Today we drive to Whistler, B.C. north of Vancouver.
whistler ? their favorite song is "blowing in the wind" watching "gone with the wind " !
