The day is fast approaching when the moving company comes to bring all our belongings to texas from maine. My wife, son, dog,and fish will be taking a long well needed trip together in the westy. We will be leaving on April 9th hoping to get there around the 12th. Maybe we will some of you on our trip. We are so ready for this  |

Congrats on your move. I did Toronto to Houston, left on a Monday and made it there Wed evening. I drove, I slept, I drove, I slept. Once Thanksgiving dinner was over I slept pretty well for 3 days. Did the trip in my then new Westy.
I'll miss you if I ever make it to Maine but Austin is one of my favorite cities, well that and Corpus Christi.
Safe but fun travel. So does this mean you have to change your New England twang in for a Texas drawl

| Yeah, but I spent a long while living where winters were only a couple of months….its the prolonged wet cold climate that really bums me out. |

You're bringing your FISH? If it's not a bass, crappie, catfish, or striper you might just consider leaving it home. Those Texans are funny about things deemed to be tropical.
