We moved - are moving - are homeless, we're living in a hotel with our dog trying to find an apartment while Cristian is working full time.
Oh boy.
Firstly, we have to note that if you ever plan to fly across the country with all your things - do yourself a favor and don't bring 10 bags with you to the airport thinking you'll bamboozle the shipping industry and save a dollar. Newsflash, airlines charge exponential rates for each suitcase over like... 2 per person. Let me break it down: 1st and 2nd = $25ea, 3rd is $50, 4th is $100, 5th is $200. Dear Corey and Cristian, You're idiots, Love, Corey and Cristian from the Future. Older and Wiser as they say. Luckily there really wasn't anyone in line at the check-in counter AND Cristian made us go to the airport several hours early so we were able to A. buy big duffel bags to consolidate, and B. Consolidate more. Let's just say, our budget for moving did not factor in our stupidity.
Side Note: During all of this, Xandy-baby was literally acting like a baby. Howling, whining, basically embodying our feelings towards leaving NYC but in public.
FF we're through security, at the gate, thankfully the gate agent was so kind as to take Xander outside. Oh, btw, it's also pouring rain So our flight's delayed. Basically one giant metaphor of Life in New York City.
Anyways, we pop a Dramamine into Xander's system to help calm him down, right as the flight is delayed some more. FF we're on the plane and the flight's delayed some more. Xander starts to become aware (Grrrrrreat) though stays pretty chill, UNTIL the engines fire up and he LEAPS over our seats in a panic. Jesus. What a day.
We have that cart because we're waiting for our Giant oversized duffel bags.
So Ok. FF one more time, and we're settling into our lives at the Lowe's Santa Monica. Xander panics when we leave the room, so it feels like we're on house arrest... but we're happy. Also, If you plan to order seamless Indian food in LA.. PSA it doesn't come with free rice.
