When plans change

The original plan for the move to California involved renting a big truck from Budget, loading all our crap, and towing the Saab behind. But getting the RV meant a change of plans.

First of all, the RV would have to tow a trailer. The only place we could find to rent a trailer for a one way trip to Cali was U-Haul. Ugh. Not cheap, plus their biggest trailer wasn't very big. So that involved getting rid of even more stuff. Including beds. The only bed we kept was the full size memory foam mattress to replace the full size mattress in the overhead in the RV.

Second, we would either have to drive or sell the Saab. Given that it's an older car (1986) and not worth dealing with, we sold it.

So after getting the trailer, we discovered that it was STILL too small even after getting rid of everything we possibly could. Two storage units later (gah!), we had the trailer loaded completely full, and ready to go. But by then it was too late to hit the road, so we stayed at a Super 8 in Castle Rock. Since at this point we had sold both of our cars, we drove the RV up the road to the motel.

It snowed.
