that's pretty good gas mileage for a vehicle with a large tank :) good luck! i am currently packing to move- as mr. betmo and i are buying a house. so- feel free to chuckle as you unpack :) who knew we could cram so very much stuff into a 6 room apartment?
We just moved from CT to SF, drove a 16 ft Ryder truck towing a car 3000 miles across the country. I think we spent at least $1000 on gas (but it was still way cheaper than hiring a moving company)
With diesel currently more expensive than premium, this is putting the hurt on independent truckers.
We are having a second car shipped by car carrier. This is almost entirely independent truckers doing jobs farmed out to them, and they are true gypsys. One car carrier team, husband / wife, told me they get home about once every three months, if that. Fuel costs must be killing them.

Be sure to stop in Metropolis to say hi to Lois, Jimmy and the Chief.
ReplyDeleteMake the trip back a "learning experience".

can't wait to hear how you guys are settling in.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting out of Alabama!
ReplyDeleteHolding you in the light, as always, my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
BG, glad to hear the first leg of your trip was safe and successful! I'll be thinking of you as you make your way back with the kids!
ReplyDeleteReading your post, and the comments, reinforces that I am never moving again. I want to be buried in my house! ha
Safe travels! xoxo

Having moved in slow pieces over many months may have been harder - which is what I recently did.
ReplyDeleteAnyway - feel the love sister as it is coming in great big waves for you all.
Safe travels, brilliant beginnings and so much more for you and your kids.
Happy trails to you!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I don't like San Jose, but I will probably die here because I refuse to move again.
Best regards,
Tengrain
Kids? D'oh! Knew we forgot something!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes!
Wow! Cheap gas. Send me some, willya?
ReplyDeleteHappy housewarming, may all good things come to you.
