Moving is very difficult, especially moving cross country. At least all of the company moves hired packers for us, and we were able to continue doing so with our last two moves. Of course hiring has its own issues, such as missing items and things crammed into boxes that should have been done with more care.
This move wasn't as large as most of our cross country moves. To begin with we didn't have children, pets, only 1 car, and we got rid of most of our books. We did major downsizing first.
Most moves have had issues. This move we were very concerned they would not show up as promised, something that has happened twice. At least they showed but late in the day instead of the morning.
All but the last two moves for for Keith's work, which meant prior to the move he was in one state while I was in another. That was always very difficult.
