Finally starting preparations for the move...

[Matt Graham]

Wow.  Thanks man.  I totally appreciate all the info.  It's just the kind of
stuff I wanted.

I just want to be prepared.  We always end up not knowing where to go and
then eat at McDonalds followd up by some HBO at the hotel.  Yuk.

This still is great.   Thanks!
Matt
