The Journey begins

So, this is the start of my journey blog.  Over the past few weeks I have been wrapping things up in Chicago. I had some wonderful meals with friends, did a little site seeing, and lots of packing.  

What was amazing is that I thought I was so well prepared for the move.  It just seemed that every time I opened a cupboard or closet I thought had been cleared, more stuff just kept spewing out.  The quick move from DC to Chicago found me with a number of boxes never touched, and now packed onto a new moving truck to store in my home town.

In my pre-departure activities, I was lucky enough to have some of the best sushi I have ever eaten at Momotaro.  I had the chef's selection of nigiri sushi. A delectable chutoro, and the scallop were phenomenal. The yakitori chicken hearts and beef tongue were superb.  The curry was amazing.  I ate too much but enjoyed every bite.

I have been in Appleton for a little over a day. After seeing how much I really have moving with me, I decided a storage unit was the best choice.  Next is my trip to DC.  It will be good to see friends and family.  I will also be meeting with an architect about some improvements to my house.

Aside from having mom with me day 1 - there was not much different in the day I left.
