So it's almost 2 weeks to the day before we move. I've gotten the military ID taken care of, and most of the paperwork with the name change since the marriage (ID, social security card, credit cards, bank stuff, the like). The military ID was fun. No, I'm sorry I don't have form #E57G-234 nor do I have POA (what on earth is that!?-- oh POWER OF ATTORNEY why didn't you say so?) - No, I don't know if my husband has gone to DEERS and filled out something online. What's DEERS. Thank you for your time...... Turns out he hadn't- and I still don't know what DEERS stands for - but it's where the ID office is. None the less I survived. Score: Military -1, Laurel - 0Now starts the planning the road trip, and packing for the road trip and figuring out what the movers will and won't pack. What to pack to take with you across country for 14 days with two kittens........We're so far going to go Monterey -> Carpinteria -> Los Angeles -> Las Vegas -> Phoenix -> Austin -> New Orleans -> Augusta.
I've got the cats boarded for our extended time in Los Angeles and Vegas. I still need to book a hotel for us in the city of Sin. And find routes along the way. My brother suggested that I look at roadside attractions for weird stuff, which is awesome because that is exactly what I want to see while I'm traveling. I'm also going to heed his advice and take note of the places from Food Nework's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. That will be a lot of fun. We're visiting people along the way in almost every stop and I think that will make it a lot of fun.
So much to do and so little time. Where would you suggest visiting along that southern route?
DEERS - Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System. Yes, I used to work with that database and RAPIDS during my stint at the old Ft. Ord hospital which is where there is an ID office. Good times...But yeah, for the service members and their families - its just more ambiguous government documentation! Good luck hon!
ReplyDeletePS - since Sam has been to Austin a few times since going down south, I will ask him about some good places to go, he is good at that stuff. He mentioned a restaurant called Texas Roadhouse, said it is reallllly good. I could add another L in really, but I won't.
