Spazz, though I'm sorry about what's going on on the east coast, I think it's great you're moving to the left

One thing you probably want to do is make sure you get insurance on your u-haul rental. Ultimately it isn't much, but it will save your bacon (and wallet) if something happens on the road. I had an ex-bf who moved to the right coast during winter and hit ice in colorado. He totalled the truck and since he didn't get insurance, it meant he ended up having to pay for it. :/

Since you're moving during the cold months, I think it would be a Good Thing(tm) to get.

See ya soon... well, assuming work hasn't got me kept locked in doors :/
