Obviously I finally got everything reattached and up and running at the 
hotel.  I don't know what speeds I get on the wifi yet, but it's good for 
this.

I should be asleep but wanted to finish hooking things up and then get on 
line to let you guys know I'm back, so keepin' it short.  But yes, the 
second move should be easier.  The two big problems with the first were, 
(1) I've been in the same place for about 15 years, so had accumulated...
(2) I was in a trailer, which I had pulled behind me the last couple 
times I moved, so didn't have the normal thinning out of stuff by 
throwing a bunch away at the move, those times.  Really, the last time I 
went thru everything in a move was the late 80s, tho I had gone thru some 
of it over the years.  But I threw a bunch of stuff out in the first move 
this time, and after sorting a bit more will be throwing out a bit more, 
incrementally anyway.  So I'm traveling /much/ lighter, now. =:^)

I'd have actually thrown some more except I didn't know where I was 
moving after the hotel.  So I kept some stuff in case I needed it when I 
ultimately move out of the hotel.  We'll see.
