Just wanted to let you all know the Hernandez family is leaving Las Vegas in a few days. The movers come Monday, so I only have one day of internet access left and then I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back online (it will likely be several weeks). It's a 40 hour drive to Virginia, and we intend to take our time because kiddos + long cartrip =

Mr P found a townhouse in Alexandria, which we will rent while he works for DARPA in Arlington. Anyway, I'll be back on in a few weeks but wanted to say bye for now since you all have become something of a family to me. I love you members of Take care!

Be well, travel safe, have a great holiday season and we'll hold the fort down until your return.

Having just moved myself--just a couple of doors from where I was--I appreciate the diffiulty you face. Moving is stressful work even for cats, especially for cats. No I look forward to seeing you back online. Take care.

If your move causes you to stop in Nashville look me up. Some of the days this coming week I have zero work responsibilities.

I hope you enjoy the trip to your new home! Traveling with kids is such fun when moving... I recall moving from VA to CO and we did it on a do it yourself plan and had our belongings packed in the largest moving rental truck available with the car in tow behind. As we arrived in Colorado Springs my stepdaughter, still in diapers threw her shoe out the window. Of course is was a special shoe her grandmother had sent her from Germany so we had to make the block(s) and then make new friends by stopping traffic for several minutes as I recovered the treasure.

I was stationed in Washington DC a few years back and lived in an apartment in Alexandria and I hate to say it but I despised it. Mainly the traffic followed by the swamp weather the area is famous for. I worked in downtown DC so the drive that would take 15 minutes in CO would average from an hour to an hour and a half. August and September are almost identical to Puerto Rico's weather... 105F with 90% humidity. DC is a single man's paradise so keep an eye on hubby... the girls outnumber the men by a large margin and usually have a nice federal job... to top it off it is a large center for homosexuals so there are many desperate "single women".

Here's wishing you have a nice safe trip and all of your belongings arrive safely and if not a nice insurance adjustment for the broken stuff. Don't pack anything you can't live without!

The DC areas has a great social possibility and please don’t take me wrong about my poor opinion on the traffic and weather... DC is a sad rat race of white people commuting away from the poor hard working black folks of the DC proper. The only white people in DC after dark are in the Whitehouse and exclusive tourist areas of Georgetown. You will love it and hate it at the same time...

After settling down venture out into the panhandle of WV for some of the most beautiful scenery you may find any place in the world...

Have a safe trip. Best of luck with the move! Try to visit
a library or someplace so you can check in. We'll miss you!!

Mrs. P good luck with moving to Alexandria. It is always hectic when you move to a new house.

The only real difference between Las Vegas and Washington DC is that at least in Vegas, people are throwing their own money away.

Hope you have a fun and safe trip back there!

Aquilla, I'm nominating that quote as the best quote this year. Nicely done, sir. </golf clap>

yay! The east coasters now get Mrs. P

Drive safe!

Best of luck on the move and the new home! We'll miss you!

This is just great....grrr....

I've had that Elvis song "Viva Las Vegas" stuck in my head all day, but with the words, "Leaving Las Vegas". If it doesn't go away soon, I'm searching for an exorcist.

I have not posted hear in such a long time. Heck it's been forever, but I did want to wish you a safe trip and all the best in your new surroundings.

Take care and be well.

Good luck, Mrs P!!

Add the difficulties of moving (cross-country!!) to the hectic schedule of the holidays and you have one big task ahead of you!!

I hope everything goes smoothly and you come back soon!!


Oh, and Hi Red!

Good Luck to y'all!!! What a wonderful time to take the kids on a cross country trip!! They'll get to see winter across the heartland. Be careful going across the Appalachian mountains... and have a Merry Christmas!!
