Hello fellow fuzzie lovers again! Just wanted to say a HUGE HUGE thank you to those who have responded with their gracious willingness to help me and my fuzzies out with our big, upcoming move to Seattle.... However, we are still needing some help with a place or two to stay along the way so I've re-attached my previous posting that contains the new, up-dated itinerary and route. If this will put anyone's mind at ease about opening their home to 'strangers' .... I am a 33 yr. old professional, dependable, kind, and responsible woman who has worked in Law Enforcement for over 5 years (former Boston police officer) and has recently graduated with my BS in Criminal Justice / Psychology. Most recently, I've worked as a Corrections Officer for a medium security facility here in Missouri. I have impeccable professional and personal references should anyone wish to check them and I can assure you that we are a SAFE, RESPONSIBLE BUNCH seeking nothing more than a roof over our heads, in lieu of hotel rooms, as we pass through to Seattle. Also, I would be happy to send along photos so you can see us "in person" .... My fuzzies, however, I can only say wonderfully BIASED things about but will take full responsibility for their unpredictible antics! I'm doing this entire move by myself and would greatly appreciate the time and efforts and kindness of anyone else willing to help us out with nothing more than lodging. Please contact me via email or telephone (see below) with questions, concerns, etc....AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Thanks again! Have a great blessed day with your fuzzbutts! Sincerely - Jen, Sasha & Snowball (PREVIOUS POST): Hello fellow fuzzie lovers! A fair number of you know me from my numerous posts about the escapades of my tiny but active two-some clan, Sasha and Snowball . . . They are both doing great and we are all trying to survive through the sweltering summer heat! Well, this time around I have a monstrous request to share with anyone willing and able to help us. I am going to be relocating from Kansas City, Missouri to Seattle, WA this month (most likely during the week of July 20-27th) and will be driving my 17 U-Haul (and attached car) the entire distance by myself (along with the fuzzies of course!) In lieu of hotel stays, I was wondering if ANYONE out there would be willing and able to PLEASE provide us with minimal overnight accommodations in several places along our route (see travel route below). This would greatly help me reduce my already staggering moving expenses and also provide a sense of added security, being in a home instead of a lonely hotel room. I realize this is a tremendously risky request to ask of total strangers but I can assure you that we are a safe, responsible, friendly trio seeking nothing more than a safe place to rest at the end of each day. I will have a comfortable, inflatable bed and all the food and necessities for myself and my fuzzies so nothing more would need to be provided except the sleeping space and I would be more than happy to provide a "donation" to anyone's 'ferret fund' as a measure of gratitude for your help, by all means! Listed below is a copy of my tentative itinerary and the stops I will need to make at the end of each driving day, as best as I can predict within say 50 miles. If anyone can help or has any suggestions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me directly via email or telephone (660-441-1856) That would be most appreciated! Thanks to everyone in advance for your willingness to help us get home! It s going to be a long trip but I m staying focused on the end result of getting me and my fuzzies to our new place, safe and sound. Thanks again! Cheerio! Jennifer, Sasha & Snowball TENTATIVE Itinerary: Day 1 (July 24): Kansas City, MO to Sioux Falls, South Dakota (arrive around 7-8 pm). Rest for evening near Sioux Falls. Day 2 (July 25): Sioux Falls to Rapid City, S.D. to Sheridan, WY to Billings, MT (arrive 6-7 pm and rest for evening or continue on to Butte, Montana (arriving near 10pm?) Day 3 (July 26): Butte, MT to Missoula, MT to Spokane, WA to ? (I don t think I can quite make it to Seattle this day because that would be about 12 hrs. of driving so I d be stopping somewhere between Spokane and Seattle around 8-9pm I believe).
