It is now Wednesday, the second day of packing up the truck. We left the motel early. Left the truck in their parking lot and headed home to continue our
packing. Leng, Anthony and Eric showed up shortly after us. We had told them that 4 hours would probably be enough time to load the rest of everything.
The day before I had rented another truck from U-Haul to load the rest of our stuff in and take it to a new storage unit where it would have to stay until we made
it back to Milwaukee to pick it up! Appears we will be making this trip once again!
We worked for a short time on the letter for the bank, but some of the documentation that we needed was unfortunately in a box, somewhere in the infamous truck! We will figure this out, trust me! Alone I may have given up, but Peter just keeps on, not knowing the meaning of the words "I can't".
Steady is his middle name! Stress is my middle name!
We packed the truck until about 1PM, paid off the guys who helped us pack and then were on our own again. My dear friend, Karen showed up during this time and helped with cleaning out the fridge, the bathrooms and the garage. We were gone to the
storage unit while she was still cleaning. Thank you Karen!
Peter and I made one last trip to the storage unit to drop off the last load and then we headed to the Motel where we left the moving truck. The plan was to stay in Milwaukee one more evening and then start out early the next morning to pick up
the trailer that would carry our Prius.
Found that the motel was full. Apparently the beginning of Summerfest, a Brewer's Game and a Jimmy Buffet Concert filled up the rooms in Milwaukee for the evening.
We searched the internet and found a place in Waukesha on Moreland Blvd that did not charge an arm and a leg to stay there, so we booked it.
We drove to Waukesha to check in and then made contact with Fried's neighbor. The plan here was to leave our van in the Fried's driveway until we returned and leave the spare key with the neighbor. Following the drop off, we had dinner at Oscar's.
Perhaps our last dinner there???? Time will tell.
Finally made it back to the motel and wrote the letter for the bank and faxed that off. Then we crashed for the evening with a wake-up call scheduled for 5:30AM.
