Hi Debbie, Well, it may not help, but from Chicago to Phoenix, I could make a small dent. I'm in SE Nebraska. From here to Chicago is 9 hours, I could pick them up there and bring them back to Lincoln, and someone else could take the next leg of the journey, or if you could find someone to bring them from Chicago to Lincoln, I could take them part or all of the rest of the way to Phoenix. My father is a pilot, and I may be able to convince him to pick them up and fly them, if I bat my eyelashes and maybe cry a little, but that is a long shot. That is, assuming you and they wouldn't mind flying in a small airplane. Well, it isn't THAT small, 8 passenger, but still. No commercial jet, that is for sure. Anyway, the whole trip is far too long for me, one leg is roughly 28 hours round trip, and one is 18 hours round trip. Add it all up, and there is more time there than I have to spare, and that doesn't count caring for the ferrets while on the road. (Or myself for that matter.) But if you can find another person willing to help, let me know, and I can schedule a long weekend or something. Melissa Barnes Mira, Tasha, Robin, Nietzsche and Samuri [Posted in FML issue 3533]
