Oh, I was just jealous that you got to have a Vanagon road trip and I
didn't.

I'm over all that now, pass the ham please.

I once used a vehicle delivery service call Auto Drive-Away. They have
offices around the country including Kent WA

http://www.autodriveaway.com/

I dropped the vehicle off at their Kent office and they found a qualified
(non-professional) driver to drive it to its destination (York, ME).  The
vehicle needs to meet certain standards and they don't always have someone
who can drive it away immediately but at that time it was considerably
cheaper than shipping by truck. YRMV

Tony, my solution to this challenge five years ago was to fly back and drive
the extra vehicle (about 3 days). Of course Andrew Martin reminds me that
bringing my rusty Vanagons to the west coast was akin to taking a ham
sandwich to a banquet.
