Today is packing day. Part of the contract is that we can take 1000 pounds and then put the rest in storage. All along I kept asking myself what is 1000 pounds?? My friend Nickie equated it to 1/40th of an 18 wheeler. Basically not a lot. Today I can confirm a 1000 pounds is NOTHING. Especially when you are moving with two kids and toys.
First round weighed in at 400 pounds and not half way done. Not to mention the kitchen stuff (specifically the Kitchen Aide Mixer and Cuisinart) weigh a ton. I made an emergency call to our relocation agent - we need approval for more stuff ASAP!
After a few phone calls and many boxes later we actually weighed in at 1075 pounds. Not too shabby. I did have to take out the kid lawn chairs, beach towels, and stationary. I am not sure how all those things made the first cut anyway.
It feels good to know that everything is on its way. Now I am off to worry about how to get the rest of the junk in 6 suitcases!
