Just think about it like a race and shoot for the holes.  laughingdp
Don't ever let yourself target fixate on the idiots in cars, keep moving. You'll get used to it fast. hopefully.  Roll Eyes


Complete horror show!!!!.
Just kidding it is going pretty well, thanks. Moving is an enormous PITA.
I spent all of last week in SF on business. It went very well, but I ended up getting sick...too many hours in airplanes and not enough sleep...
Our first container shipped today.
I decided to ship my Monster in the second container later this month.
We plan on being there "officially" in early February.

I gotta admit, riding on those busy roads is a little scary to me! Undecided

What's scarier is that you'll get used to it. Nay, even learn to enjoy it.

I moved here (SF Proper) from rural Vermont. It can be done. And remember, lane splitting makes it better.

Well, we will be arriving tomorrow night.

Sadly the Monster will not be arriving for several weeks. It is happily strapped into a shipping container in the driveway right now and will not departs the islands for a few days.

Thanks for all the input/advice during the run-up to the move.

I hope to meet you all soon.

Unbelievable;

Do to some absolutely ridiculous circumstances involving one of our dogs and a reaction to a bee sting we were not able to fly yesterday.

So we are going to try again tomorrow.

This is starting to feel like an episode of LOST.
We can't leave the island!
