MISSION: TRANSPORT!
I guess one could say that it doesn't get any easier when you decide to pick up and carry on at this stage of the game. We did. We had to. It turned out that the auto-transport company we had contracted with was a scam. A "we are a Christian organization who are here to serve you (Praise the Lord!)" company out of the mid-south pulled out of the deal at the last minute and said that Vermont was too far into the stix for any of their drivers to be able to pick up the car. The fact that I told them the car was only 45 minutes outside of the capitol of NEW YORK STATE made no difference. "We can't get a big-rig on those small country roads."
Someone tried to teach me once the theory of cutting your losses. Car-rental costs adding up, we decided to have me fly back east and drive the car back to California myself.
The trip went great. Couldn't find anyone able to accompany me, so I headed out. I made the trip from Vermont to Sonoma in slightly over three days. That beat my 'personal best' time in a similar cross-country trip with my fiancé at the time of three and 1/2 days----
Silliness, I know, but when you are all alone and the road beckons, no one saying "I'm hungry...are we almost there yet?" Can we stop now?"---I just flew thru the cornfields and the prairies, loving every minute of it. It helps to have a powerful fast car with cruise control---
