The lift

Getting ready for the lift is so complicated...what to pack in suitcases, what to ship, what to leave behind?

We have decided to go with Kef shipping.  They are a little more expensive, but I really liked:
1.  Dealing with Adam. He was responsive and professional
2. The use Atlantic Relocation for the packing in our area. I thought they were also a very professional service when they came out to do our quote.

At first they said they could come July 23...oh no, our flight to LA is July 24.  They were so nice, however, and got us rescheduled for July 19.  That is in a week and a half!

It is really hard to know how much space we are going to have and how much we'll be able to fit.  An of course, everyone we know wants to put on a couple boxes... :)

We have to label everything we own with a priority (1,2,3) or a do not pack label.

Priority 1:
Mattresses
Beds
Dressers
Shabbos china
books
bookshelves
bikes

Priority 2:
serving dishes
sports gear
school supplies
desk
corner hutch
monitors
Passover stuff
Folding chairs
Folding tables

Priorty 3:
party supplies
extra clothes
living room chairs
Ping Pong table
side shelves
kitchen chairs
dining room chairs
extra dressers
closets

Inventorying everything you own is super complicated. Then there is insurance to worry about. I can't wait to see the house after the movers come!
