We did it.
We bought one-way tickets to California last night . . .
Reservations for 2 adults, 2 children, 2 large dogs and 1 tiny hamster.
Add a rifle case, car seats and the four suitcases we will have lived out of for a month and check-in should be an extraordinary amount of fun.
For those of us who have yet to fully absorb the reality of our pending change of address this is yet further proof that this whole move thing is actually happening.
The next reality check will be in 14 days when the movers extract the 2000 pound pile of “stuff” from our dining room.
Did I really just write “14 days?”
If I may quote Heather L. Sanders, “Oh, My Stinkin’ Heck!”

How does the hamster travel? In the cabin with you? Just wondering! Well, keep on writing Ingies from CA – I’ll be interested in your take on the whole experience!

The hamster goes in the baggage compartment – her cage will be fastened into a small dog kennel. The cost to fly her is the same as it is to fly Chuey so this clearly isn’t by the pound! If Nibblet were a rabbit she could travel in the cabin with us . . .
