It doesn't feel like a Monday. We just left Coffs Harbour, which is half way between Brisbane and Newcastle. Tom Petty is in the CD player letting us know that he is free falling and the kids are in the back seat trying to sleep in the contorted positions that only car seats can provide.
Thursday the moving guys came to pick up our stuff and pack it into a moving truck. It is the first time in my life I have not treaded on the goodwill of friends to help me move and actually paid people to do heavy lifting. I felt useless and when I asked if I could help the movers let me know that not only would I be of no use, but I would actually impede their progress. So I was stuck sitting on the kitchen counter reading a book while our stuff was tagged, wrapped in blankets and crammed on the truck.
We cleaned up on Friday and drove to Newcastle and then spent Saturday with Mary's brother Chris and his wife Carol and now we are on the last leg of the trip. We expect to be in Brisbane tonight.
A few tanks of gas, a couple of meals at McDonalds and one bout of car sickness from Cora have gotten us this far. About six more hours of driving and we will be at our new place.
*we just saw a billboard saying "Welcome to Yaegle country!" Mary and I have no idea what that means.
