Moving Fun Facts
Okay, so I'm still playing the waiting game. The elusive PhD defence most likely will be on the 28th of Nov., leaving only 2 days to correct my thesis and leave TO.
For those who don't know, our original plan was to drive our stuff to CO in a rental truck. This plan was of course subject to cancellation once we realized what we were getting ourselves into, but now it's official; Uhaul has my credit card number, no turning back.
Some fun moving info:
Toronto, Ontario - Fort Collins, CO : 2421 km, 1513 miles.
Sights and Sounds along the way : the trip will take us through Michigan, Illinois, a little bit of Indiana, Iowa, and Nebrasksa. - I have no idea if there will be anything worth seeing.
Largest city along the way : Des Moines - also have no idea if there's anything worth stopping for here.
Assuming 8 miles/gallon : 200 gallons of gas.
Assuming $2.50usd/gallon : $500usd for gas + snacks.
(what's gas at these days? maybe the american viewers of this page can give me an idea)
Transportation : 14' Thrifty Mover
Hurray for "gentle-ride supsension" and "50% easier to load"...-EL
