Well, we made it. Sorry this has taken so long to conclude but we have been waiting for internet access to be set up at the house as we're both getting a little tired of internet cafes.
We arrived here on Thursday after a short drive from Stockton. The house was even nicer than we remembered especially as it was to be our home. That night no unpacking was done, we took out anything food-ish from the truck as we are in the heart of bear country and just went to bed.
Friday - a day that we were both silently dreading -
8.45am drive to Sparks, NV rent Budget Truck
11.15am Drive from Budget to ABF (the cross country haulers)
12.30pm Head back to South Lake
2.15pm EAT. Unload truck (to be unloaded by 4pm in order to return truck on time)
4pm Back to Sparks via some shops to get food and other household items
8pm Arrive at South Lake. EAT
Non-stop lifting, moving, carrying, lugging, sweating. All with our faithful brown and white companion. Carrying heavy boxes up 2 flights of stairs at 7,000 ft elevation is enough to tire anyone out but come evening, we were done. Bed.
Saturday - unpacking, never ending boxes
Sunday - same, though with a fun trip to the beach for Ollie who has clearly had enough of travelling (See photo!)
Monday - more of the same and here I am but I can now see the carpet!
So far California seems a most hospitable place, especially Lake Tahoe. The sun seems to shine day in, day out, the nights are cool and there aren't really any bugs. Steve already has a job, I'm working on it and our house is lovely. Right now, I don't think either of us would, if we could ask for anything else.
Once again, thank you for following this blog - we hope you enjoyed it!
