Moving Trip (Part 2) - Day 2
[up at 0500L - got started out of Harrisonburg very quickly, hoping to beat the traffic jams on I-66 - was NOT successful - back up began well west of Gainesville - manaqed to exit the Interstate on Prince William Parkway and made my way down to Woodbridge - arrived at U-Haul center around 0800L - had problems getting my storage building (it was supposed to be free for 30 days, but they only had indoor storage - this would require about 20 trips with a dolly and elevator) - decided this wasn't for me - went looking for a better storage place and found one near Bob's place - got my things out of the truck in about two hours (got "moral support" from nice man who was in a unit close-by) - went back to the apartment to dry off and get cooler - then drove back over to Lorton to drop off the U-Haul - went next door and "hoteled" for my work for about five and half hours (cool inside - was able to do my teleconference just fine) - on the way back to the apartment, stopped for a relaxing dinner at Olympian's Restaurant (great gyro!) - when I finally lay down in bed, I realized how exhausted I really was and fell right to sleep...]
