Well, we are finally here at the Cherry Point Marine AirBase here in NC!!! The packing up in MD (the rest of our stuff that we stupidly did not have the navy pack for us) was grueling and forced us to leave a day later than planned/expected. Yes, Diron was right in saying I kept out too much crap!!! My mom and dad came to help and ride with us for the 9 hour drive (since we couldnt go over 60mph pulling the uhaul trailer). AAgh! Satchel did SO great and cried maybe 15 minutes of the whole trip being strapped down snug and tight in that car seat ): Mom and I laughed over stories of the "old days" when we didnt have carseats or seatbelts! I remember sleeping in the back window and the floorboard of the cars!!!
Well, it has been nothing but RAIN here since we arrived! I know you people further south feel no pity since that is all you have had throughout Oct! We have been staying in the lodge here on base for an awesome rate of $35 a night! Cant beat that! Diron's friend is coming tomorrow to help him turn the boat around and back it in to make getting on and off easier. We went today to get a PO box, register the cats at the vet (and appt for microchipping), check Satchel's registration at daycare, and try to get our med records transferred. We went to West Marine and Walmart and loaded up on a few necessities for the boat life, and some just decorative (throw pillows, Satch a comforter and pee bed protector) ones.
Tomorrow we will go aboard the Harmony for good....YIKES!!!! The poor kitties have been living in Diron's car for 3 days since they arent allowed in the lodge. We have been going out to visit them, feed and water, and change the litter box. Hopefully they will be happier on the boat tomorrow. If not, my poor inlaws may be in for inheriting the grandkitties for a while!!!
