Getting our pets and plants to Alaska
OK, I need some advice from any Alaska experts.
UPS is transporting all of our household stuff to Alaska as part of the relocation package for us, so that is taken care of. The problem now is my wife's plants and our cat.
Our stuff is being shipped by train to Tacoma, Washington, then by water up to Alaska. We cannot ship our plants that way, and we obviously can't ship our cat that way :-))
Also, our cat probably cannot go via airplane. We won't put him in the cargo hold of an airliner (I've seen a few too many dead dogs and cats at my previous airline) and he will be a real pain to bring in a carrier and placed under the seat.
So, we're thinking of driving ourselves, our plants and our cat to Anchorage.
Should we rent an RV? A conversion van? I've heard of a few companies that need RVs transported up there, and they will actually pay us to drive them up there for them (though I haven't found them yet).
Any advice?
