From Ohio to Arizona by Car – Part 5


All right, we’re driving through New Mexico. I’ve been to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos many years ago and loved it. There wasn’t time during this trip for sightseeing but we’ll do that once Diane is settled. Right now, we’re eager to reach Arizona, her new home!

Getting closer!

And here we are! Sun City! Yay! Thank you, Mike, for your perfect transport!

 

Beautiful desert!

 

Of course, now the unpacking begins. Chaos once more for Diane, but we are here. We made it. While Diane is unpacking a few things for the first few days, the dogs are trying to get used to their new environment. I try to calm them down a little. I’m now officially Auntie Christa to 5 pups!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our first relaxing meal. Aida, Diane’s realtor who got her the house, not only made sure the electricity and the water were turned on and everything was in order but even got us a few bottles of wine and beer! What a kind woman!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next day was mainly settling in. Now, that the pups had a place to stay, we took a short trip to one of the beautiful towns in the neighborhood. Stay tuned.

    What a lovely home. Glad the 5 pups are settling in. Always a worry when moving houses. They are so cute and obviously love their auntie.

    Hi Darlene,
    The trip went really well, better than expected, but we were relieved to arrive. It was chaos the first few days for people and pups, but it got better every day.

    Poor Diane. All she found was strangely empty beer and wine bottles when she finally rested and wanted a glass of something. And no wonder she whisked you off to a nearby town. She clearly wanted to keep her association with (a known Swiss person) from getting to be public knowledge in her new town. Jeepers! Can you blame her? Glad you made it safely. Cheers!

    How are you doing, Monster A Go-Go? How is the move north going? Hmmm, I heard that there was a warning out on Whidbey Island, encouraging people to lock their booze cabinets, since a Tiki addict is moving there. Could that be you?
