The Move Continued!

Flight reservation home? Check.

Apartment available? Check.

Hotel reservation for arrival? Check.

Mailing address for new apartment? Check.

Household goods shipment scheduled? Check.

Things are progressing swimmingly.

A quick phone call to the motel confirmed a Coney place within walking distance. After three years of really awful, literally inedible hot dogs it seems serendipity is our fate yet again. Even better, it does American breakfasts. I sense a serving of crisp and golden hash browns in my future. God help me if they have biscuits and sausage gravy.

We have begun the sorting of our possessions into the "shipping" and "not shipping" categories. Jim has been working on the setup of the laptop for use as our exclusive computer for a couple of months after our arrival. I have been re-ripping our entire CD collection using the Apple lossless format because we aren't shipping our CDs. Jim's been helping with that, too, because it is tedious. Only a few more to go now.

I have confirmed the availability of AT&T U-verse for our TV and Internet and phone service at our new apartment. Yay, fiber!

I have ordered pots and pans and dishes for use upon arrival. Okay, for use the next day at our apartment. We won't have to spend a fortune eating out the first couple of months while waiting for our household goods.

I believe this may be the smoothest relocation I have ever done. So far. Knock on wood.
