Travel

On July 10, we will be arriving in Chicago with twelve (!) bags and one very angry cat. From there, we'll rent some enormous vehicle to get us to Fort Wayne.

We are still waiting for news on our apartment. We've had no visits this week, but know that at least one couple is interested and seeing about paperwork.

Today we measured the cat (she's big) to see what size cat carrier she will need for the flight. She didn't like it. Anna and I checked at the pet store on the way home from school, and we spotted a carrier that may be big enough. We asked for the measurements and will compare them with the British Air pet carrier requirements and the cat's height plus length from elbow to floor, length from nose to root of tail, and width.

I've read that it's best to get the carrier at least a month ahead of travel to get her used to it. I also read that we should take her to the airport a few times so she gets used to plane noises, but that's not happening.
