We're Almost There!!
We stopped driving Route 66 after AZ, to detour down to San Diego to visit a dear friend of mine.
I hope you're all doing alright, since I have been incommunicado for the past few days.
Chanel flew in yesterday via Air France cargo. We hired professional animal transport people to take care of her this time around, and will do so from now on with any and all animals we may have to have fly. The difference in care is amazing!! Chanel actually went on a cargo plane, so it was non-stop from Paris to San Francisco. Someone was in the cargo hold with her and the farm animals that were shipping on the same plane. The French vet had Fabrice's Dad give her a sedative before she left, so she slept the whole way, didn't have diarrhea, wasn't panic stricken or anything. Yesterday, she was a bit tired and groggy and walked like she was drunk, but in good spirits, happy to see us, and not at all traumatized. Today she is still a bit tired, but serene, calm, happy, and resting.
Thank you so much for everything, I hope to hear from you soon. I think I still owe a puzzle, too, and have one ready to post when it's time.
Fabrice leaves on Wednesday, and I am going to be a bit lost and lonely and disoriented here until we find a place to live and all that. For the time being I am staying in a nice little suite at a Motel 6, and waiting. I will probably be here about a month.
Since my lovely teenage daughter wants to stay in Wisconsin until after she goes to camp in mid-June, I just need to be better situated by then.
I actually broke my right foot during my escapade in the desert, in addition to the ankle and knee sprains, and now have a blood clot in my calf from that same accident. Hopefully it won't go any higher! Oatman, Arizona, is a cute little former gold-mining town on Route 66. They have a herd of wild burros left over from the burros some miner set free some hundred odd years ago. I was taking pictures of a cute little shop there, while Fabrice went back and got the car, when I slid down the embankment and fell, which didn't help my foot, and threw my back out, too. It sure sucks getting older!!!!
