Awwww shucks guys <insert blushing emoticon here). Yes, we're just about all packed up and ready to head out tomorrow after I get off work. Planning on traveling 430 miles just to get to the Canadian Border. We'll be spending most of our nights sleeping in the car except for Edmonton Mall and Cedar Pointe Amusement Park for sure. Updates may be far and few between, but I will do my best.

Trailer got dropped off yesterday and we loaded about 80% of our stuff up already. Putting us ahead of schedule since today was to be the day to load up. All of our help is arriving today so it should be super fast and easy. I didn;t go to sleep last night..... so I am pushing 36 hours of no sleep at this point. THe night before I got 3 hours.

This morning was a special morning since last night was the last time I would be spending the night in that house. As I got in the car to go to work the sy was that perfect morning dawn pink hue. It was drizzling outside and I looked up and saw one of the biggest rainbows I had ever seen. I could see end to end, it was a perfect arch.... which is rare here. It made me smile and I took it as Alaska wishing my family luck on our move. I can't believe the day is finally here tomorrow.

We are going to miss our friends and family here in Alaska. We truly have the best friends and family one could ask for. My wife's cousin drove down from Fairbanks (300+ miles) to come help us and has been a trooper, sleeping wherever he can find a spot. My wife's Uncle who lives in town came over one night and has spent the last 3 nights helping us pack and get ready too, without a change of clothes... lol. Of course we have had friends stop by and help as well. THey will be missed. Although this is the longest move I have ever made... it has been the easiest sue to the help.

Everyone, I will keep in touch. Thank you for the priceless advice!

Cannot wait to hear about your journey South! I know it's a stretch, but if you come through Va and need a place to rest your head or just rest for a few, give us a shout. We haven't given up on Tampa yet, so we'll be anxious to hear how your adjustments are going when you get there.
