Day 65: Ready to Move
For our move we’re allowed a total of 11k pounds of stuff to be moved. There are three parts to it… the big motherlode (55-60 days to get there), unaccompanied baggage (40-45 days, up to 350# for anybody age 12+ and 175 for under 12, and no furniture), and luggage that you take on the airplane (two carry-on and two suitcase at 70#/ea.). If needed you can also have storage and transport. So if we want to keep our washer and dryer we can store it for free as long as we’re within our 11k pounds. The same with transport. If I want my mother-in-law to take care of our vintage stereo we can arrange it so that a moving company does that for us. Oh, there’s one more thing… you can mail things yourself too. I want to mail our important documents that are not too hard to find replacements over to the UK. I can do that and as long as we haven’t gone over the 11k pound limit the Air Force will reimburse us. Now, see the black bag and the tote? I think I’m going to mail them a few days before we get on an airplane he he he…
The above is my part of unaccompanied baggage. My 350# will consist of clothes, craft stuff, pots and pans, and a computer. My craft room and kitchen’s ready to go. I have clothes to tackle still… I need to get rid of a few more things.
