The Big Move

[Miss Meow]

We don't move to Melbourne for another five or six weeks (I'm in denial that it's so close, so I refuse to count ) Jasmine is getting in a little practice for the ride to the airport (she doesn't yet know about the ride to the vet's for a checkup prior to the airport ...)

[Miss Meow]

I don't believe we have to fly again. Can we please drive?

How cute! how long is the plane ride?

[Miss Meow]

Can we take that cute little ragdoll from across the driveway?

Six weeks is not long at all...... HAPPY PACKING!
Hope the kitties have a comfortable plane ride.

Only about 1 1/4 hours, but we have to get to the airport two hours before the flight and drop them off, and I don't know about how long it takes to collect them. Then 1.5 hours from the airport to their Aunty Yvonne, who will board them until we find somewhere to live (hopefully only a week). The cats will panic but will be OK, I am going to the vet's for MY sedative!

Best wishes for you all with the big move.

Aren't cats LOTS of help when it comes to boxing things up?

Great pics. Your cats are beautiful. Nicole, I want to wish you a safe and relaxed trip both for you and the cats.

What absolutely lovely cats you have!!! I hope the big move goes smoothly and the cats adopt well in the new place. Make sure to have a chat with the vet people in the airport and demand to see the box they'll be in on the flight. I suppose they'll be sedated too?? - better do it before you leave! Have a good journey - all of you!!

I cannot believe this. I am booked to leave next week with the cats and fish to find somewhere to live in Melbourne. Then the week after we are moving permanently.

Find out today that Shane has been offered another Navy job, so instead of just writing his new job title on a database or something easy, they are cancelling the whole move - everything. And we have to start from scratch. They won't even tell us what date we can move now as we have to re-do all the paperwork, then they will tell us.

So I finish my job today and have no idea how long I'll be sitting on my backside doing nothing, waiting for these bureaucrats to re-book a move for no real reason. I am almost crying from anger. (and feeling a wee bit sorry for myself)

Oh Good Grief!!!! How aggravating for you. Do keep us posted as the situation changes.

Arrrrrggggghhhhhh!

Nicole, please don't worry. I know it'll all work out in the end. At least you found this out before you moved to Melbourne. Hopefully it won't take too long to find out where and when you'll be moving. Good luck and please keep us posted. {{{HUGS}}}

OMG , what a terrible thing ... So sorry for you both and the cats !! I hate moving , so if they act as if it's nothing to worry about , they must be crazy !!! Hope it turns out okay soon !!

Take care , and try not to worry to much ...
