It has been 10 weeks since we left and it amazing what you get used to. Don't get me wrong having your things never felt better, but a part of me feels that we can all do with so much less.
In trying to pack for a year’s worth of items we quickly went through our 7,500 lbs limit. About 1/3 was food and some things we have brought over such as brownie mix, rotel, and beans (all good types) you can't get here. Overall we did a good job of bringing what we needed except for the fact that not everything we thought we would get made it. We can't say if the items are with the rest of our things in storage, the packing crew now has them, or a customs agent took home more that day than he brought in. We are leaning towards they are not in storage and will try to claim them. Some items are batteries, rollerblades, and oh did I mention that our brand new mattress just doesn't feel the same. Ah, the joys of moving.
It was interesting to see how the men taking the items off the truck never used a dolly or a ramp. A bit sketchy, but considering where we are living it in not too bad. All 193 boxes were in fare shape and we all spent the next week unpacking. Enjoy the pics and we leave for a vacation to the Mediterranean this week for 10 days so I will send pics of the house next time and the vacation.
