Mukilteo - Clinton Ferry, Whidbey Island

Driving off the Ferry and onto the Island

When my husband and I embarked on this transition, we decided we'd move forward in a general direction. That direction was to drive North from California as far as Washington. After deciding what to keep and what to give away, we crammed our remaining possessions into our car. On the third day, we arrived in Seattle and by the third day, we secured this rental on Whidbey Island.

Above is the photo I took as we drove off the ferry onto the island (I was the passenger in the front seat).

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.     Martin Luther King Jr.

What a journey...To just pack and move..I love the quote also..
To give up all those things that really mean nothing must be very peaceful.

Yesterdays, It'll be warmer for you when you go South.

Katelen, I understand the "less is more" idea with every move:)

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
