We reserved our moving truck for April 11.

[graywarrior]

Buh-bye Florida.

[Tektonik]

1. Is the gas going to cost you more than next month's rent?

:scared:

[graywarrior]

2. Yeah, but we have split the truck between 3 people.

We are moving Mr. Gray's nephew's furniture and another guy's stuff, so they are throwing in for the rental and the gas. Plus we get to tow our car with the truck.

Whatever it costs to get the hell out of here is worth every cent.

[Tektonik]

4. I wonder when people will stop moving to Florida & Texas and starting rushing back North en masse

[trof]

3. Back to the frozen north?

[graywarrior]

5. I cannot wait

Someone mentioned Lewiston Maine on tv today and I nearly cried.

[Maine-ah]

32. yay!

I lived down there for a couple of years after high school. I couldn't wait to get back up here either!

Have a safe trip! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear graywarrior!

All right!

I cannot wait till you get home, so we can talk!

And plan that meetup!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[bicentennial_baby]

7. w00t!!

:bounce:

[BarenakedLady]

8. Where are you headed?

I know New England. Anywhere in particular?

:hi:

[graywarrior]

9. Somewhere between southern NH and northern MA

First place where we can make a deal.

[BarenakedLady]

10. Excellent.

Maybe I'll run into you while visiting the area sometime. I'll try not to literally run into you though. ;)

[graywarrior]

12. That may be dangerous for those around us.

[mtnester]

18. Have you started scoping?

like craigslist or online MLS listings?

Are you looking for move in?

Just being nosey

[graywarrior]

19. I put an ad on Craigslist

And I've been looking for a month. People want to rent for the first or the fifteenth of the month and usually the month you're in. I've tried lining things up a few months ahead but that hasn't worked. We'll probably need a temp place before we can really start looking.

[DarkTirade]

11. Come, join us!

Join us in the frozen north. We have cooler weather and fewer yankees AND rednecks than most parts of Florida. :P

[graywarrior]

13. At least up north you can drive to another state in a few hours

Unlike Florida where is takes you hours and hours to get out.

[DarkTirade]

15. Hell, it takes hours and hours just to get from one side of Orlando to the other during the day.

[graywarrior]

16. It takes me hours just to leave the house.

It's starting to get really hot here again. I hate it.

[DarkTirade]

17. I guarantee that won't be a problem here for a while.

:)

[BarenakedLady]

21. Oh sure

Just jinx us why don't you. ;)

[graywarrior]

23. There's one in every crowd.

*snort*

[fight4my3sons]

14. Happy Moving!

:hi: Hate the actual moving part, but it's fun to get to the new place.

[av8rdave]

20. Good Luck with the move!

[Redstone]

22. To southern NH, rather than northern? OK, at least it's New England where you belong.

Let me know where you land; I get up that way on business a few times a year. I'll buy lunch.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

24. It's the job factor in northern NH

Mostly retail and hospitality with no health insurance, which I really need right now.

BTW, can't wait to see you.

[Redstone]

25. Coos County is utterly crippled economically right now. That's why we haven't moved there.

Good move on your part to take it off your list of places to live.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

28. I can always drive up when I need a mountain fix.

[Redstone]

30. There you go. I-93 is your friend.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

33. Or route 16.

Crazy fucks drive that route.

[Gormy Cuss]

26. About friggin' time.

:bounce: :bounce:

Florida's fine for some people but you ain't one of them.

[darkstar]

27. I'm gonna round up some buddies and a van, OK?

[graywarrior]

As long as I ain't the dead guy.

[darkstar]

31. Nah...he's my prototype of the moment

and my Dharma Beer drinking buddy.

[graywarrior]

34. .

:headbang:

[Chovexani]

29. Congrats!

:D

[Sugar Smack]

35. Wow. I know of a really good rest stop in NC.

I hope things go as well as they can, because moving's such a freaking hassle. And let me know if you need a rest stop. Kudos for sounding so calm and organized about all this.

[graywarrior]

37. I'm on Nexion

So much for calm.

we'll be driving up 95. You anywhere near there?

[Sugar Smack]

39. YES.

Maybe an hour and a half west,in Chapel Hill.

Even if you didn't want to stop but *pause* around there, I'd make the trip in a heartbeat. And I'd offer my resting place if you did want to stop.

[graywarrior]

40. I shall PM you with my cell #

[Sugar Smack]

41. Hell yes, lady.

:D

[BreweryYardRat]

36. I intend to flee screaming for the Pacific Northwest ASAP after I graduate, so I sympathize.

I'm a bit jealous, though. I have at least another year, depending on how much I can put together savings-wise.

[graywarrior]

38. Florida is a place to "run for your life" from
