Moving, Yet Again

All systems are Go for the move.

I made the necessary hotel reservations here in town and in Bangkok for our last week here and departure.

Yesterday I emailed all the documents the movers need for the packout this Saturday. This included not only the Customs paperwork, but the inventory for the insurance. So that is all over but the actual packout and the money transfer to pay the movers.

The only thing left to do is to arrange the transportation to Bangkok on the 23rd. We have too much luggage to take a bus or taxi; we need a van. We could fit into a taxi, but not for a 3½ to 4 hour trip. Too crowded in the back seat. So a van it is.

I found the website for the local power company where we are moving and have actually arranged to start electrical service on the day we get our apartment. That was going to be the greatest inconvenience, not having electricity when we moved in. We can order pizza for dinner, and boil water to make coffee, but having lights is nicer than sitting around in the dark. Not to mention being unable to charge our Kindle, Sony E-reader, iPhone, and iPod Touch with no electricity. The very prospect is unacceptable!

I lose easy computer access the night of the 15th, when we will pack my precious Mac for the move. Updates may be very sporadic after that. Okay, even more sporadic than usual.
