We have arrived

Yesterday was fun. After I sold the car, Mark drove me back to Karl’s. We bought a bunch of house warming gifts. After Karl got off work we were prepared to move all of his large items but we had no pickup truck and no way to pull a trailer. There was some monumentally bad planning here. There were two nearby Home Depots. One would answer the phone, but did not have a rental truck, the other would not answer the phone. While driving to Home Depot location two we spent all the time on a cell phone with U-Haul on hold. In any event we rented a truck and moved his bed, recliner, desk, desk chair, bean bag chair and a bunch of his clothes. Mark and I went to Karl’s new place and Karl and Kyle packed up the balance of his stuff until 3:00 in the morning at which time they started to march across the living room like 150 pound ants on speed.

We took off from Austin at 2:50 and from Houston at 4:55 and arrived at Liberia at 8:30 or so.

When we arrived at Liberia, the driver for the car rental was nowhere to be found. A taxi driver called the company but there was no answer. He drove us to the Best Western in Liberia. Nice big room, one queen and two doubles. We went across the street to the bar, but decided to return to the hotel bar where it was quieter and we had internet access.
