So it turns out that even highly reviewed, highly reputable enclosed trucking companies don’t always run on time. I can’t blame the company, there are just too many variables.  My car was supposed to arrive in Seattle on Thursday but due to delayed pickups in other areas it’s looking more like Sunday. The only issue is that we are out of town by then and I won’t be able to pick the car up myself.

Time to implement the backup plan – a friend picks the car up for me and keeps it safe and sound until we get back from vacation. I’m not sure if this will make it easier or harder to enjoy vacation. Getting my hands on the car only to put it away a day later might be even harder than just waiting another week.
