Prior to the four-day journey, I packed my belongings into my car and a U-Haul U-Box. U-Haul handled the pickup and move of that box from Michigan to Arizona.
After moving out of my apartment in Kentwood, I drove to my parents’ home in Livonia and stayed in the guest room for a couple days. My dad was driving to Arizona with me.
Day 1: Livonia, MI to Indianapolis, IN to St. Louis, MO. My car was stuffed and I still needed room for my dad and his luggage. I had to leave a few things behind, including my snake plant. We departed around 8:15 a.m.
Day 2: St. Louis, MO to Tulsa, OK to Oklahoma City, OK. Missouri was dreary, grey and hilly. Oklahoma had sun and cats.
Day 3: Oklahoma City, OK to Amarillo, TX to Roswell, NM. Texas was sunny, cloudless and flat. Rural New Mexico had charming towns, but Google said it well: “Not many entertainment options. Very select restaurants of average quality.”
Day 4: Roswell, NM to Las Cruces, NM to Tucson, AZ. Roswell was better than I expected. Las Cruces was nice. We arrived in Tucson around 7:00 p.m.
