Moving again

We have now moved out of our apartment and are back in the Marriott Exectutive Apartments.  Today the movers came and packed up all our belongings which will be shipped back to the US.  Tomorrow, the company will come to pick up our rental furniture and on Saturday Salvation Army will come pick up the appliances (refrigerator, washer, dryer, water dispenser) that were purchased for us when we arrived. 
Charlie has settled in well in his latest temporary home.

Due to the potential temperatures in Detroit, Delta airlines has an embargo on pet transfers from May to September 15, so Charlie cannot fly home with us next week.  Continental, however, has the facilities to handle pet transfers regardless of the temperature.  Unfortunately, Continental does not have a direct flight from here to Detroit.  As we were trying to make his plans, one of the proposals was for him to fly direct to Chicago and be driven in a van to Brighton.  We weren't too crazy about that idea (and neither would the driver of the van listening to him cry the whole way).  In the end, he will fly to Houston, where there is apparently a very nice pet facility, and unfortunately have a 4 -5 hour layover, and then fly to Detroit, where we will pick him up.  He will leave the hotel Thursday at 3pm, depart at 9:30pm to Houston, and arrive in Detroit about 2:30pm on Friday.  We will leave Sao Paulo at 10:30pm and arrive in Detroit at about 8:30am (much shorter trip for us). 
Charlie did very well on the trip here, so hopefully he will do just as well on the way home.
