Well, we made it safely to New Orleans... Praise God! Thank you all for your prayers! We had a lot more work packing the POD than we at first thought, so our departure time was delayed by five hours... we left at midnight and drove a total of 150 miles the first 5 hours! The fact that we had been moving boxes for 7 hours straight on top of the fact that we were both up late the night before made for some pretty rough driving conditions and we spent quite a bit of those hours parked at Rest Areas. It's funny because I decided to drive at one point in the wee hours of the morning and made it as far as the next rest stop! We didn't get to Atlanta until 3 or so the next afternoon.
I was able to get some sleep there and thanks to that and good strong coffee, was able to drive straight through the night to New Orleans. We were exhausted, but we are very glad to be home.
We slept a few hours that morning and then later that afternoon visited our new house:

It is a huge old house with a lot of charm. We look forward to moving in next week when our POD arrives.
