Flight day, a few more hours till our flight to New Zealand

Phew,

Almost time to fly. We are on our last day here in San Francisco. We woke up super early and started putting stuff out on the street. Within like 15 minutes half of our stuff was gone. Even some of the stuff that we thought might be hard to get rid of. We went out to grab some brunch at Ti-Cous, a French crape place with Alex again and took a bag or two of stuff to goodwill (thankfully down the street) so that we wouldn't have so much junk outside to clean up later if everything wasn't taken.

After brunch, we walked back home, turned our corner and everything was gone but a nice desk chair and a 17" monitor. Sadly, some jerk dumped a ton of trash and cardboard where all of our stuff had been. I think people took most of it and some person came and took the rest, making room by dumping trash from their truck or something.
I am like, "Not our Problem!" but Jen spend a bit of time cleaning it up and stacking it nicely. Really a shame after all that to end with trash on our doorstep.

We wheeled the chair to the corner for some better exposure and went upstairs to do last minute packing, finances and to do a clean sweep of the place for trash and other items. We think we got most of our stuff out of here, but I feel bad for Jen and David (our roommates) who will get stuck doing the final move at the end of the month when they move out.

Jen just gave me and Jen the cutest photo book with pictures from the last decade and before and also cute quotes that we had taped to the fridge during our 5 years in the loft here together. We will miss David and Jen very much and have had a blast and love you very much.

Well our shuttle to the airport is in about 4 hours. We still have to go to the post office, bank and maybe another errand or two. The flight should be about 14 hours I think and I hope to actually sleep some or most of it. Wish us luck!

Matthew
