Arrived.

We are here. Here, and at least half-way unpacked. Just recently got the internets back up, as well as new cell phones. Supposedly we will have cable hooked up on Monday.

The drive down from Toronto was rather uneventful for having cats and people crammed into the front of a 14' U-Haul with a car trailer hooked up to the back.

Everything started at 8 am, and I must thank Richard, Marcus, Fox and our neighbor, Enrique very much. We couldn't have done it without you. Really. As it was, we were lucky to be leaving Toronto at 9 pm.

The border was a breeze, and we mostly drove right through.
After that, though, the GPS took us down the most rural, small highways possible. It was like the Lovecraft tour of New England as we followed twisty roads up and around New York and Vermont. Luckily we had no trouble with the truck as there were no signs of life anywhere, save one stray deer, until we finally found an open service station at about 6 am with the truck running on fumes.

Driving to Cambridge

We arrived at our new home at 12pm and started unpacking the truck. Luckily we hired movers to lug our stuff up the three flights of stairs, as I was way too tired to even think about doing it myself. In fact, I spent a fair part of Saturday in bed with a headache.
