There were only a couple of glitches to take care of on Tuesday morning before we left. One, our trunk, Yakima box, and back seat were fully loaded, but there was NO ROOM FOR OUR CLOTHES!! Oh well, it’s hot in Albuquerque, so don’t need clothes, right? So, at 8:00 am on Tuesday, we were at the UPS store mailing 5 boxes of clothing (nearly all the clothes Lee and I own now). It only cost about $150, and we felt that was a bargain. The second glitch wasn’t as easy to fix. Our credit union had ERASED ALL OUR BILL PAY INFO when Lee had closed his other credit account on Friday. The credit union told us that there was no going back and the best they could do is print out the information we had entered for each payee on our “bill pay” function and fax it to our local branch for us to pick up on our way out of town. We would have to re-enter all that info when we got to Albuquerque.
With photos to mark the event, and farewell hugs, we left Liz and Bill in charge of our house, yard, and koi pond. Bill had already unpacked his toolbox and had repaired our front screen door, so we knew the house was in good hands. Our cats were in their cage in the back seat and neither of them was very happy. Fiona, our older and wiser cat decided to curl up in her (clean) covered cat box and she slept for the entire 6-hour trip to Baker City, our first stop. Chi Chi, our 3-year old, cried and fussed until I let her out for a “guided” tour of the car, then she too managed to settle down in the cage for a 5-hour nap. Good girls!!!
