We (that is, Me [JazzyMama], 'Buela [my mother], and my son Jas) are getting ready for traveling cross-country from Here in little ole Delaware to Fairbanks, Alaska. Buela and Jas will stay and I will return to finish up with work and my apartment and I will fly out later for the summer.
'Buela traded in her Hyundai Elantra in for a Hyundai Tucson for the trip and for her to have in AK. The new car is very nice to drive [important since I will be doing 99% of the driving], though it will be nicer once the cruise is installed. 'Buela will be taking some things of hers and Jas will have some of his things, and other than what I'll be wearing I will be taking the winter clothes since I won't be needing them. I will be sending some things in the mail as soon as we get the official mailing address for 'Buela's apartment [should be getting a call anytime]. We're both trying to eliminate and simplify for ease of moving and just plain starting fresh.
Jas is currently educated at home; this will now be school on the road. We are going to try to hit some historical places along the way, but 'Buela wants to get there and reminds me that I have to at least get there in time for my flight home :-)
We have a lot to do and little time to do it (esp. since we are both still working), but it's exciting!
