And The Adventure Continues...

Guess who's heading off to New Mexico for a new car in three weeks?

*points to self*

More details once we get the details worked out.

Do what! O_O That's one heck of a hike for a car.

Definitely wanna hear the details when you get a chance.

Here's a basic explanation:

The Ford Escort is no more. Dead over engine trouble, although there's plenty of other things wrong with her.

We're sharing my mother-in-law's Daewoo right now. Which is not easy and has to be making my MIL crazy.

So, we wound up with a decision. A Buick Rivera, which gets 12 miles to the gallon highway, for $2500 or we hike out to NM [the plane tickets only cost us about $300 for both of us, one-way], pick up the Kia Sophia Anissa's uncle Kevin has for free and drive her home [paying for gas and hotels on the way].

So, yeah. I think we're going to New Mexico.

Poor Ford Escort. :(

Sounds like it'll be a good trip, though, and the Kia Sohpia IS a cute little car. I almost wish I could tag along, I miss traveling so much. XD

It was pretty sad. I miss her already. Anissa wants to make a planter out of her.

I'm just relieved to use the money for a trip and get the car for free. With the way things have been lately, I REALLY needed this trip. She and I needed to do this for years and this is a good reason. A good little bright spot for the dark we've been through lately.

And this has been my first HUGE trip in over a decade. I'm actually getting pretty excited. :D
