I'm sure many of you have heard, some have not. For those of you that haven't heard the whole story... here goes. Shawna and I were in Portland for her birthday weekend of fun. Sunday morning we got a phone call from our friend Sara (another traveler living in the same appartment complex). Someone broke into her house!! Apparently this gentleman got confused in all his drunken glory and decided when his key didn't work in the deadbolt that he would rip the door off the frame and help himself. So poor Sara came home to find this creeper asleep in her bed! Anywhoo... because this loser was Major CreeperTown to begin with AND he was our next door neighbor, we decided to get the hell outta there along with Sara. Too many coincidences for comfort. So our company put us up in the local Best Western. I have to say... it was a little nicer and the people were more trustworthy than at the apartment we had lived in for the last 11 weeks.
The caravan from the apartment to the motel. Wasn't quite as neat and organized as the first time we packed the cars (for the drive out to Oregon).
Had to make a run to Big Lots for a few more tubs. It's amazing how much crap you accumulate even in 3 months. Clothes to be worn, books to read, even Christmas presents for friends and family.
So much work for such a short day... a frozen yogurt break was definitely in order.
The tiny little motel room we shared. We had to push our beds together (remember people, we are a Traveling Pair not a Couple) so that we could fit all our other crap in the room. If any of you have ever lived out of a suitcase for a month, you know what this is like. 2 weeks in a hotel + 2 weeks traveling cross country to visit SouDak = not my favorite time in the world.
The bathroom counter was awesome for two girls to share, I tell you what.
But we made it, and we didn't even kill each other. Good for us!!
