Wild mixed up East coast traveling
Our week in Portland after Patrick's interview was glorious! We visited with many of our friends and spent time seeing all the new, hip locations around town. However, the travel bug has bit in a small way again and we are now on the east coast traipsing around. Actually, we really needed to consolidate all our stuff, which seems to be spread out across the country in places such as Rhode Island, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Idaho, and California. On this trip, our hope is to move all our various things on the East Coast into a single storage facility in New Jersey. This is the crazy schedule of how we are doing it.....
1 June
Leave Portland at the crazy hour of 6:30am on Southwest Airlines. Fly to Kansas City - change planes. Fly to Chicago - stay on plane. Arrive in Providence, RI at 7:00pm and rent minivan. Drive to Brook and Merith's house for the night.
2 June
Drive to Narragansett to pack up all our belongings at Shula's mom's house including: wedding stuff, boxes from Salt Lake home and childhood memorabilia. Linda is out of the country. Back to Providence to stay another night with Brook and Merith.
3 June
After beautiful day wandering Providence with Merith, drive 6 hours to Philly. Stay with Shula's father for the night.
4 June
Collect belongings from Dad's house and storage unit. Find key to our storage unit. Drive to New Jersey to pack new boxes into our storage unit. Late afternoon, drive to NYC for a weekend with Jeff.
5 June
Drive to upstate New York with Jeff
7 June
Return to NYC. Drop Jeff off. Drive back to RI and stay night with Brook and Merith.
8 June
Return car to airport and fly to Philly.
Yes, we are driving all over the east coast - and don't ask why we didn't just get a one-way rental from Providence to Philly - it is cheaper our way!
