Gina, you have had such a hard time and I'm so excited to hear you're leaving the hard times behind and moving on. I wish you great fortune and I pray that your new life is nothing but the best. You deserve something good for a change sweetie. Please have a safe trip and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I can't wait to hear that you've made it to the East and all is well!

Good luck, and drive safely! Where are you going to school? I went to Rensselaer, in Troy. The winters and HILLS!!!

but updating you first..

thanks guys! yes, I will drive carefully - hopefully the others will! just had my car fixed. . .grr.

yay, I can't believe I'm really leaving... been so wanting to do this for two years. and this will be my first white christmas as well.

I drove around a little & slowly to let cats settle down.. amazingly most of cats are purring and making happy feets!

this is the first time all of (13) cats riding together, I'm impressed.

crayola is comfortable, liking cats piling up on him! he already dozed off.

my rat, buttons and goldfish, speckles & betta, spirit too!

my car is so small now. . . well worth it, 5-7 days of crowdy car to have them all with me forever!

smokey - heh. school, I got accepted at RIT & NYU - can't wait to start whichever there too.

thank you furrykidsmother! I'll update myself if I'm able to, if not, I need you so people won't worry. allright, I better start driving - miss you all.

bye everyone for now & take care! ((hugs))

We have plenty of white stuff out here, you should be quite happy. Probably have even more in NY then we do in NH!

Glad to hear that all is well with your Ark and that they are settling in nicely. WOW! I would be afraid to attempt it with my 4, but am glad yours are adjusting. I bet Crayola makes a terrific pillow!

Sure, I'll be sure to keep everyone updated if you can't, just stay in touch and let me know your progress.

Good luck and best wishes as you head towards your future! I, along with everyone here will be keeping good thoughts of you!

Take care of yourself and your Ark! (((Hugs))) to you too!

GOOD LUCK GINA !!!! That is a mighty long drive. Will you sleep in hotels, or in car; cats are not always welcome

Hope to see you back on-line real soon!!!!!

Good luck with your travels & move.

Are you moving to a city in upstate NY or in NY NY? I live just outside of Rochester NY. I'd love to have another PT'er next to me.

**AlleyCat** · 12-16-2005, 11:32 PM

Good luck with the move, Gina! I was a student at RIT too, 14 years ago !!! I finished up in 1991, stayed in Rochester another year. I'm sure it's completely different from California! (But not so different from Minnesota, where I'm from.) Keep us posted on how everything went with the drive!

wow, crossing country during the winter time. I wish you have a very safe trip. If you feel tired, don't take any chance to try to drive extra mile. It looks like you are heading close to Canada - make sure to visit the Niagra Falls - the Canadian side is beautiful

**Anita Cholaine** · 12-19-2005, 11:42 AM

What an adventure... I really admire you for crossing the country by yourself. That was actually one of my childish dreams, to get a car and cross all my country... Please, drive carefully and keep us updated! I'll be sending some good thoughts for you...
