I've moved a few times now, each time it seems to get bigger and more involved. The last two moves have been to and from Germany. These moves are more involved than your typical state to state or cross town move. Military moves are also different than civilian moves. The big, huge, wonderful difference is that everything that isn't nailed down gets packed for you, and when it finally arrives, the big stuff gets unpacked and put back together. Obviously this means less work for you, although you feel awful as a group of guys works their tails off to get you all packed and ready to go. The downside to this is they just pack stuff in boxes by room, and you have NO idea where anything is in these boxes.
When we left Germany I decided that all of the old moving boxes that have seen a few moves needed to be taken care of. The pack rat in me couldn't take the advice of de-clutterers and just throw them out (sacrilege!!). Which means it's up to me to go through every stinking box, and every stinking thing in these boxes and decided what to keep, toss, or store for another day. Which seems to mean double the work and double the stress since I have an eat in kitchen that's been taken over by boxes & totes and a dining room table that's serving as a staging area for all my decorative crap.
I LOVE MOVING!!
