When we talked with the moving company, we told them we needed 8-14 days from the time they picked up our household goods in Vermont before they could deliver them to Arizona. We sold our cars and planned to ride our BMW motorcycle to Arizona, a trip that we estimated would take us 8-10 days depending on the weather. The moving company promised they would do their best to meet our request.
We arrived in Prescott, AZ today after 8 days on the motorcycle, traveling through Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado and finally Arizona. Our household goods, however, are in a warehouse in Boston, waiting for a moving van headed West.
We keep reminding ourselves that the primary reason to relocate across the country was the promise of new adventures, and living in a house without furniture has to qualify as an adventure. We purchased a new mattress, pillows and bed linens; picked up some inexpensive towels, stocked the house with toilet paper, soap, paper plates, and plastic cups and silverware.
It may not be camping, but it's close!
