We Arrived

We arrived in Dallas on Saturday afternoon around 2:30 pm, which gave us enough time to hit a bank and get a safe-deposit box, which gave us some peace of mind.

The moving truck is late: because of the ice storm and its effects on routes 78, 80, and 81, the driver was considerably delayed and STILL hasn't arrived. He should be here tonight, he'll spend the night, and then tomorrow morning we'll unload it, partly into a self-storage bin, and partly into the apartment. Then we'll be set, more or less.

The movers have been the biggest pain in the ass so far: they came a day late, didn't bring hand-trucks or dollies (we had to run to a hardware store and buy them). They were supposed to be here on Saturday morning, we had lined up a few guys to help us unload, but that fell through. We have to wait until the morning, and see if we can get a few people to help us with this.

But Dallas is beautiful. The weather is in the high 50's F, supposed to be in the 70's on Thursday. There's other things about Dallas that we love, but I'll save that for subsequent posts.
