Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Becky got into Florida on the 6th and we ran around for a few days before leaving town on the 11th. Of course we managed a little beach time...once at New Smyrna Beach and once at Daytona Beach. The weather was great.
The dogs and cat did pretty well on the road trip. We did 10 1/2 hours the first day, stopping overnight in Beckley, West Virginia. That included stopping for the dogs. Bella and Stella barked a lot at the motel. The next day we only had 5 1/2 hours to drive. Anytime the car was moving, the dogs slept. Levi is not real fond of car rides but he did well, too.
I spent the next day recovering from the trip. The old hip really hurt, but resting and icing helped a lot.
I imagine I'll be pretty busy while I'm here, but I'll try to post when I can. XO

A little less stressed
I found a slightly lower rental rate with Dollar Rental. They advised me to ask about waiving the drop fee when I pick up the car. Even if they reduce it in half, that would be a huge help.
I'm almost done getting everything ready for the trip. I need to CLEAN, which I keep avoiding. I just dread doing anything physically straining because I know I'm going to pay for it later. I've got to find a way to reduce the hip pain. It's very frustrating.
The weather here has been wonderful. I've had requests to bring the sunshine and warmth with me to PA. I'll see what I can do!

Stress
I'm getting stressed out. I can't find a minivan for less than $700. Car rental companies pack on an enormous drop fee for one way rentals. So I don't what I'm going to do.
I feel lousy. My hip is killing me and it doesn't look like I'll be able to see a doctor before I leave. I faxed over info last week and it has yet to be reviewed by a doctor. Today I was told it could take a week to 10 days. So that means an 18 hour car ride with a painful hip which I imagine will be far worse by the time I get to PA. The only thing I can do at this point is bring all my records and films with me and try to see someone in PA. I wake up with a headache every morning and any physical exertion makes my hip throb. I've still got lots to do before this weekend when Becky arrives and our plan is to leave March 11th. Needless to say, I AM NOT HAPPY.
