No problem at all stopping when needed. I can even dig up my little walk-about radios so we can yammer all the way up, if ya like! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chatsmiley.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I've driven that trip (north-to-south) a good half-dozen times now, so it should be relatively straight-forward. It's about 12 hours, if you aren't in a super hurry. With the extra stops, it might make sense to break the trip in the middle. (That's what Mom did when she drove back up by herself.)

That assumes, of course, that I don't have someone paying me to stay put...

My only advice to Intel folks: Don't go on sabbatical otherwise they'll give your job to TWO people in INDIA (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) BTHIHTM (Been There Had It Happen To Me) -- and no, my ranking and ratings were good.

Congrates on the move up (in more ways than one (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) ). My dad's family is from Milpetas; my sister and I were born in Mt. View.

If youre in a larger moving van its easily 14 hours or even more depending how much your hauling over the mountains. I have done it both directions. Also be prepared for very hot weather up highway 5. I moved in August and hit 105 degree weather in the valley. It was not kind to my moving van. Had to stop a couple times to let things cool off.

If youre doing it yourself (I did and pocketed my relocation check!) Make sure not to go with uHaul, believe me they suck and often you will not get equipment that is ready for that length of haul. My wife and I stopped in Roseberg so we would arrive fresh the next day in Portland

Yeah, my U-haul rental didn't even make it from Sunnyvale to San Jose without puking its guts out! Dumped the ATF all over the ground, it wasn't pretty!!

And then U-haul tried to charge me extra days' rental for that POS when their people had towed it away!! Assholes....

Congrats for finding roots for your family! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Welcome to yard maintenance and remodeling fever. You will probably powdercoat all your appliances and polish all the chrome. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Let me know when the move is so I can get a back brace...

I love portland, I'd move back in a minute if I could. Looks like you are off and running once you get there! It'll be weird to get used to someone pumping your gas for you though.

Since I drive my teener daily, how are the gas dude's going to figure out how to fill it up? I have to hold the nozzle over the tank right now to get it full.

Remember, I relocated from Austin to San Jose when I graduated college...that fat check paid for my teener and the turbo engine for my 912. Now that I have 1 extra to add on to the relo, I get bumped up to a higher doller amount.

On that occasion, I only owned about 10ft of stuff and rented the largest Budget truck available. I then put my stuff in the first 10ft and put my 912 inside the truck. I trailered my Acura on a full trailer behind it. It was definitely the longest trip of my life...38 hours, 25mph up the hills, and about 5 mpg.

I will definitely be out there AX'ing. I will really miss the guys down here and the competition. Hey JP, I am sure that we will get to know each other. I hope that my 1.7L gets nowhere close to your car, my '69 912 turbo will be a different story though.

Welcome Britian. I, too, work for Intel, that's me in the center. I live in Beaverton (Aloha really, but you'll understand after you've been here awhile). Which campus will you be working at?

That is awesome.

I will be working in the lithography group as the poly layer owner in D1D. It will be a bit of a change since I do mainly lithography development work for the n+1 generation memory devices (i.e. further out than the next generation or even the one after that) here at D2 in Santa Clara.

You'll have to get out and show them where to fill it up, and you will prolly never have a full tank of gas again, lol

C'mon, admit it, you'll miss Milpenis (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) What was that bumper sticker you saw, "I love Milpitas, in my rearview mirror"

Congratulations, beautiful house, I'm sure you'll love it up there.

So if Oregon is the state where you can't pump your own gas is it Washington where they nail you for going 2 mph over the speed limit?
