Figurin' it all out

We've got a plan...as depicted here. This is my mom and I at the post office, sending off the title of my car and a limited power of attorney to Nate's dad Dave West who lives in Virginia AND has plates he's gonna transfer over to my car. The only problem is that we'll get the plates in the mail Monday, so the trip gets pushed back a few days. But not too bad considering.

Uh-oh!

Because nothing can ever be as simple as you plan it, we have hit some snags in getting the car registered. We thought we would be able to get temporary plates for the car, so I wouldn't have to register it completely here in New Hampshire. But, I can't do that because the car has a Virginia title. So I'd have to "sell" the car to my mom, a New Hampshire resident. (Alas, I am a Utah resident--I get cheaper tuition). But getting a title in her name might take longer then we planned. I can get temporary plates, but from Virginia and only if I was a Virginia resident. But the Virginia resident who "sold" me the car, is Tina, my dad's wife, and they are on their way to Bangkok via Tokyo as we speak. So they can't be reached yet...Wow! Talk about crazy. We planned on leaving NH on Saturday morning, but it's looking like the trip is gonna get pushed back. I'll keep ya updated.
