I suspected it wasn’t going to be easy the day we flew to Valencia, but I had no idea it was going to be that difficult! It had never crossed our minds that we might have to leave our cats behind, or that we would get separated once in Europe! My stress level went through the roof, and it started to feel like we might not make it.

Two weeks left to travel, and I wondered if I had enough time to move abroad? We were cutting it very close, but we were in too deep, and there was no turning back. Our biggest concern? Getting through customs with the cats, and I was right! Ugh.

The last push. It suddenly hit us that we needed to leave the United States as soon as possible. We had no idea how, but we had two months to put everything together to move to Valencia. Were we going to make it? It was a daily thought that would cross my mind, but I kept pushing forward.
