This is not a joke

Well, I have good news and bad news.

You get the good news first:

Turns out, we are going to see Burlington, Vermont after all.

"What!!?? Why are you in Vermont... do you realize that northern

VT is ridiculously far from Niagara Falls???"... 

Yes, I do.

Which brings me to the bad news:

I can't read directions

I completely lack an internal compass.

I am a hopelessly pathetic person.

I caused us to drive 6 hours and 20 minutes out of the way.

We are nowhere near Niagara Falls.

And, to top things off,

the van is dead.

Yup, I am not kidding.

Totally dead.

Casey thinks it is the starter.

Which is only a big deal if you plan on ever being able to stop.

Right.

Pretty bad start to the trip, huh?

I don't even have the ambition to upload pictures right now,

so here is what we are going to do.

Tomorrow, when we have fixed this whole mess,

I am going to write a blog. 

The blog which should have appeared today

had absolutely everything not gone wrong. 

And we will just sweep this whole thing under the rug.

So tune in tomorrow for:

Day One of Our Move to Portland (again)

P.S. Jenn, if you would like to meet us in NY, we still can.

I think we will be there on Friday (hopefully).

I can't call you from my cell, but check your email and 

I will let you know when we have the details pinned down.

Hope it works, can't wait to see you:)
