Wow, trip countdown is getting so close as to feel realistic. Gotta get some packing/planning solidified this weekend.
To confirm the schedule:
Sun 21 Jun: Bob and Sue leave Stevens Point around 5:30 am
Pick up Laura in Madison around 7:30 am, eat good brunch either in Madison (Pancake House?) or en route
Laura drop Bob and Sue at O'Hare by 11:00 am
Flight leaves Chicago O'Hare at 2:00 pm
Laura brings Matrix back to Madison/Stevens Point (your choice)
It will be good to have an idea when you plan to come up to Point so I can let Grandma and Michael know what to expect.
Sun 28 Jul Laura and Michael pick Grandma up around 9:50 am to go to church at Newman. Take her to County Market
after Mass if she needs groceries, and take her for a meal to wherever you all choose
Thurs 2 Jul Laura and Michael drive Matrix to O'Hare to pick up parental units (allow about 5 hrs travel time plus any stops)
Flight arrives at O'hare at 7:46 pm
LeGault family drives Matrix back to Madison and crashes at Laura's apartment
Fri 3 Jul LeGault family plus Keaton pack up Laura's things into UHaul which Laura has procured. Possible meal together at
Jade Garden?
Bob, Sue, and Michael return to Stevens Point when all is packed
Laura and Keaton depart in UHaul for Richmond, VA
Please let me know if you have additions or corrections for the schedule.
We thought about the truck thing and thought not. If you leave us the key for the apartment, we'll come back at a later date before Aug 15 to pick up any left-behinds. Unless that won't work....
I take it Jenna won't be physically in the apartment any more after you leave? We could drive down on July 11th easily enough. Will Jenna be physically in Madison to turn in the keys? Maybe we could leave them in the apartment after our last run and she (or the landlord) could collect them there? How much stuff do you expect to be there to haul home?
Just was confirmed as a Facebook friend of Masa! He showed up as someone I might know with his name in Chinese characters.

Pancake House sounds fine for brunch. I'll be sure to be up on time then. I'll also probably drive back straight through to Point, just because I'm planning at some point that week to take a trip to the Twin Cities for clothes shopping (one of my friends is starting law school there so I'll have a place to crash), and I figure I should spend as many nights in Point as possible, just for Grandma's sanity. Not sure which days I'll be going, though.
Oh, question - should Mike drive a truck to Madison and street park it before we continue on to O'hare to grab you guys, so you can take the couch home?
Well, you'll have to do it by the 15th of July, since that's when Jenna's moving out and we're officially "vacating". You'll have to do it during business hours, too, since my keys will need to get turned in, or you'll have to talk to Jenna's family about getting the keys to them.
I have no idea what Jenna's plans are, just that she's planning to be moved out by the 15th.
I was just speaking with a couple of friends about packing-day food, and they've suggested ordering a mac & cheese pizza from Ian's for lunch (carbs and fat for energy!) and going for hibachi at Ginza to round out my Madison life properly.
Thoughts?
