Well the movers have come and gone and we have left our home in Clearwater (I'm writing this a little late - we left the 23rd- but this is the first time I've had to sit down and get it on paper!)
We almost had to stay in Orlando until today (Tuesday) but thankfully we were able to get off on time...
Jesse and I drove seperate cars up to Orlando as we planned to ship his car (the CG pays for one car to be shipped if you're travelling out of the Continental US).
As Jack, the cats (yes, we're bringing our 2 cats!) and I were making our way up to Orlando I got a frantic phonecall from Jesse to say that when he'd cleaned out his car for the movers he'd had them pack his registration as well (which, obviously, he needed to be able to ship the vehicle!) The only option was for him to drive into town to go to the tax/tag/title place and wait in line for a copy of his registration! (If you've never been to the Orlando tag office then you have no idea what a hassle it can be!) There were 80 people in front of him in line (he arrived there at 12:30 and the car shipping place closed at 3.) 2:45 rolled around with no end in sight and so he called the shipping company who agreed to stay open late for him (until 3:30). One of the guys in line with Jesse switched his number so Jesse got bumped up a little in line. He finally got out of the tag office at 3:10 and raced to the shipping yard (he got there at 3:25).
Had that gentleman not exchanged his number with Jesse I don't know if we'd have been able to ship the car! It was Memorial weekend this past weekend and we knew that nothing opened until Tuesday! BUT we got it in! Yay! Needless to say that it was a nerve wracking experience and such a relief when we got it where it needed to be!
