Furball 500 Crosses the Finish Line!

The drive on Interstate 8 from Sedona to San Diego was uneventful, except for passing through three border patrol check points. As all of our cats were United States citizens, we were allowed to pass without any trouble. Little did they know that our cat Chico was sleeping in one of the carriers...

On our descent into San Diego, I asked the cats how they felt about crossing the finish line. They had a lot to say, especially Ginger and Rocco (Download).When we arrived, the cats made themselves right at home. After eating and using the litter box, they curled up on their cozy bed, and fell fast asleep.

The next morning, Randy and I took a walk around the neighborhood to get our bearings. We saw some classic San Diego scenes. I also got my first California license plates in almost 20 years! Yay!!! It's official. We completed our incredible trans-cat-intental journey! Many thanks for joining us :)

Stay tuned for cat-traveling tips...

Chico is his new spot. 
For those of you in Philly, this is coyote scat.
"Lemon tree very pretty..." Most yards have their own orange & lemon trees.
Randy & I couldn't believe our eyes! Amazing to find murals with like-minded sentiments on our first walk around the block :)
Feels like home here...

A very sentimental moment...
