Trying to Get Outta RI

We are nearing the end of our time in Westerly, RI and trying to get the house rented. We have it listed on a military by owner website and it looks like we are getting a lot of hits, but no interest so far. The base housing people are coming on Oct. 2 to take some pictures and get it listed on their website and we are hoping to have much more luck that way. The neighbor's son is going to do the property management and we really like and trust them so that is a relief. This house had been in their family for over 50 years before it was sold outside of the family so it has sentimental value to them and I know they will take care of things well. Check out the house pics.

The first set of movers are coming tomorrow morning to take our "essentials". Basically they will take most of our kitchen items and any clothes that we aren't packing and bringing with us while we travel. The other two sets of movers come on Monday and Tuesday and then we will be off to NY to start our farewell voyage. We're going to see the Red Sox at Fenway on Monday night. We decided to wear our matching green Guiness shirts so that we fit in but are not actually rooting for the Red Sux.

We have plane tickets for Oct. 18. We are flying United and our friend Jim's wife works for United so they are going to try to hook us up with some good service on the flights! That should make Ed happy since he won't be able to ride first class. United will only allow Hokie to ride with us in coach and of course, she is the boss. That will be a miserable trip with her stuffed under the seat in front of us...I feel sorry for the people seated around us!

The contractor who is doing the finishing touches on the house is coming by in a few to work, so thats all for now. Check back for pics of our farewell voyage!
