California or Bust!

Nickoli, Fikus and I flew out to California today. On the way to air cargo (in Las Vegas where we landed) to get the cats, I ran over something and my car got two flat (well one was slashed) tires. It took quite awhile to do the service call, have them send another person to pick me up and then select another car. I have a Kia Rondo, I selected that one as it’s a mini SUV and the back seats folded down so there was enough room to place the cat kennels there. Before leaving Knoxville, my dad got a picture of the cats with a sign, “California or Bust”.

For the second time that day, I headed to air cargo. I didn’t have my GPS, so had printed out the mapquest instructions the night before. When I finally got to Spencer Road, it was obvious that it was no more and that major renovations were being done. I called Delta Cargo and they said I should have taken Surrey (a new road not on my map). As all the roads had no U-turn or left turn, I had to keep going. Finally it did turn left, but then put me on an interstate with no exits to turn around. I then saw the signs to the rental car agency, so pulled back there as I knew how go get there, even if it meant going 3/4 the way around the airport again. This time, I turned on Surrey and got to the right place. Nickoli was excited to so me and showed that by starting to eat the few leftover pieces of food in his dish. Fikus looked terrified and would only look at me with half closed eyes. They are both in the apartment now and have used the litter box, eaten and had water. Fikus keeps jumping on the the couch and either walking across or sitting on my lap, so all is forgiven.
