The Move

So those of you who are wondering "what all did they have to do for this big move" I will try to explain most of what we did.

After Leanne got her offer most of you knew we had to fly to London to find a place to live. We were there a week and did not do any sight seeing at all. We mainly checked out the area we would be living, where we would be shopping and also where we could walk Coach.
After getting back to the states we had to decide what we would take over and what would stay. We had one shipment with a 750 pound limit that would go by air. This would arrive to the place our new place in England in 5 to 10 days. The next shipment would be by boat and would take 6 to 10 weeks. There was a container we were allowed but we never got close to filling it. The house in England is not as big as the one in Charlotte so there was no reason to take a lot of stuff. Everything else was put in storage.

Our new house in England is in Holland Park, just west of Kensington gardens. Its a three story condo, they may call it something else over there. The first floor is the kitchen/dining room, second floor is the living room and the third floor has two bedrooms. It is smaller than the Charlotte house and has less storage. So when we were deciding what to take a lot of stuff had to be put in storage. The good news is when we get back it will be like Christmas when we open the boxes. Happy to see what's in some of the boxes and wondering why we kept stuff in other boxes.
As of today Leanne has received the air shipment and the shipment by boat should arrive the week I get there.

Address changes, visa's, all our medical records for us and the animals. There was also the paper work to send Coach and 25 over. We had to purchase shipping crates for the both of them. They will fly over the same day as me and after they go through customs they will be delivered to our house. Once they are in the house and out of there crates Leanne and I will be able to relax.
