We are in Seattle.

After a long day of flying up from Albuquerque (today just *felt* much longer than Friday's flight to the Southwest, even if it was shorter by two hours of transit time) we're ensconced in a hotel in Kent (yeah, yeah, but it was the only place within 20 miles of my folks' that wasn't charging 3-digit rates per night).

Barring anything funny in the credit check*, we should have landed a fabulous rental in ABQ. More on that as I learn it.

Wife and kiddo are crashed out in the room upstairs. I'm in the lobby so as not to disturb them. My sleep schedule is almost infinitely more mutable than theirs. Getting Rosie back on to an Eastern Time schedule for the last two weeks of July may not be worth the effort...

Still planning on moving to ABQ in the first week of August. But likely without movers. Their rates right now approach ludicrous.

And, of course, for all the lovely sunshine with which the PNW welcomed us this afternoon and evening, it is now raining. Yup, some things don't change.

* Apparently New Mexico, and Albuquerque specifically, has a major problem with ID theft. Interesting to know.

Thanks much in advance. I'm hoping to nail down details tonight, but we are planning on having hired help at both ends, even if we're not going to pay someone to drive the truck.

Will keep you posted. You're, what, 6 hours away? Could you take a Monday or a Tuesday off, perchance?

Been thinking about you (plural) lately. I hope that everything goes as smoothly as possible!

Thank you, dear. So far, so good... *crosses fingers* :D

Are you still in ABQ? My boyfriend moved to Michigan from ABQ a year ago. I used to love visiting him there. We still go back to see his family and friends on occasion.

Small world. :)
