Moving Overseas

Sometimes I just feel like moving. I use to think about Moving overseas. There is no reason for this, except that maybe it is the challenge for me. Finding the right home, packing,finding the right International Movers, or an International Moving Company. There also are Overseas Moving companys and International Shipping companys. My wife's father was a builder, and whe she was growing up she moved quite a bit within the same town, but they did not use any moving companies. Her extended family would help out, and I also think it helped that they would make short moves. She and I have moved several times throughout our marriage, and I swear that if we ever do it again we are hiring a moving service. We lived away from the nice extended family members, but God bless the people who did pitch in to help us. They saved our marriage when we moved from Arizona to Illinois. The last one did us in, and my back is not getting any younger. My wife just swears that we are not doing it again...unless it is to a better home in the same town.

The best thing about moving is getting rid of stuff we hadn't used or seen in years. It is so therapeutic to get rid of junk. I don't understand hoarders. Anyway, we sold or gave away almost everything at a garage sale before we moved from Illinois to California, and when we arrived at our new place we bought new things. For us, it was cheaper than hiring a truck to move us across the country. The only thing of importance furniture-wise, is a rocking chair that has been in my wife's family for almost 100 years. So we made it out of Illinois with a large, rented trailer. An enclosed one, lest you think we looked like the Beverly Hillbillies headed for Californ-y.

Moving, especially cross-country, is a HUGE job. You want to make sure you have a reputable company moving you. Even small moves can be a pain in the neck!

If any of you are going to be moving, and have too much that you cannot part with, be sure to get moving quotes We got a few before we made our decision. Happy moving! Glad it is you and not me.
