Plans!

We have officially set our moving date with the movers. It's the last week of July. Movers will come one day and pack all of our possessions into boxes, and then come the following day and load those boxes into a truck and drive away with them. We'll probably sleep on an air mattress that night and then head out the following morning. For our 3-day drive. With 3 cats.


Haha...they will be in the back seat, meowing their little hearts out from the safety of their carriers. The above picture does represent my road rage fairly accurately, however. I have even been known to hiss at bad drivers.

We are planning to stop in Memphis, TN, and Amarillo, TX. In preparation for our 3-day journey, I would like to acquire some entertainment to...entertain us in the car. Maybe audio books, or some stand-up comedy, podcasts, or awesome sing-along music. Please suggest such things in the comments!

We're thinking of staying in La Quinta hotels along the way since they are all pet-friendly, but this is another area where we are taking suggestions. Might as well stay somewhere nice since it's covered by the relocation pacakage. ;-)

That's all for now!

  1. My [somewhat-geeked-out] entertainment recommendations:

    1)Audiobook: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand: narrated by Scott Brick. <--ridiculously long, but so great! Good for such a road trip. It does start slow, but it picks up to the point where you can't "put it down". :) (should be free with Audible.com trial)

    2)Podcasts from ScienceFriday. I haven't listened recently, but they are usually really interesting! http://www.sciencefriday.com/audio/scifriaudio.xml

    3)Comedian: Bill Burr "Why do I do this?", if you haven't heard him/that album. I think we've talked about this, so I think you already have/like everything else I would suggest.

    Enjoy!
