Good-bye, Waltham

Well we did it! We managed to pack up the apartment with only slight dramas on my part over thinking we did not have enough boxes and not enough room in the storage closet. After loading up the car we cleaned each room, top-to-bottom. It looked so nice it was almost a shame to leave it, though the echos in the relatively empty rooms convinced us it was time to go!

It really did feel nice to finally be on the road, the car loaded with dirty clothes, bags of food from the pantry, gerbil supplies, and a gerbil. We tested some gel on Lorenzo, and he seemed to like it. Now we won't have to worry about him getting dehydrated on the long flight.

Now that the first big move is out of the way, we must decide if we should go to Minnesota to visit family (both mine and Seth's) and a friend (Monica) before heading to North Carolina. From there we will still need to head back to New York and Boston before leaving for Italy. Until then, we will enjoy the fresh (though hot and humid) air in upstate New York!

Stepping out the door!
