I have completed my second round trip in the US, from Atlanta to Gainesville, FL.  The purpose of this trip was to move all of my belongings into my new house!  My amazing new roommates, Meg, Lisa and their pup Tucker, let me move all of  my stuff into my new room 2 months ahead of schedule, due to the lucky coincidence that caused the room’s former occupant to move out two days before I was scheduled to arrive.  It is extremely comforting to know that a) my new roommates are so laid back and accommodating of this crazy scheme of mine, b) none of my belongings are in danger of theft or damage sitting in a storage locker all summer and c) when I get home from this trip, my bed will be waiting for me.

A brief shout out to my superhero Dave, who drove the Budget truck from Atlanta to Gainesville with me following behind in my car, helped me unload and set up my room and was a generally awesome traveling companion.  Also a huge thank you to his wife for lending him to me for 3 days.  I could not have gotten this trip done without Captain Awesome!

I have just over a week now until domestic trip #3, a road trip to a wedding in Dallas, via New Orleans.  Then, the final domestic trip, a flight from Atlanta to New York a day before we depart for Barcelona.

Lindz, I second your question.  Can this really be happening?
