The Moving Saga...

We went to a few offices today and booked dates for our movers & our military housing final inspection, picked up our military plane tickets and discussed the non-military parts of our traveling. Wow. This is really happening!!

Our dates, so far:
1 March ~ Pre-inspection for military housing (basically, just telling us what needs to be done for final inspection)
1 March ~ Counseling session for packing/moving
20-21 March ~ Pack & load household items going to Japan (main shipment, going by boat)
24 March ~ Tom's re-enlistment
24 March ~ Pack & load baggage shipment (going by air, that will be there shortly after we arrive)
28-29 March ~ Pack & load long-term storage items, if any (hoping to get rid of all excess so we have NO storage)
30 March ~ Final military housing inspection
31 March ~ Final outprocessing from this base
3 April ~ Fly to Ohio to see Tom's family for ~10 days
12 or 13 April ~ Fly from Ohio to Florida to visit my family
23 April ~ Fly from Florida to Seattle
25 April ~ Fly from Seattle to Japan!

Yep. Typing that all out sure makes it seem real now!

Anyone wanna bet on whether or not we get it all sorted before the movers show up at the door?! :)

Oh my word! that makes it all seem very real. I can't believe it's so close!
You'll get it all done...maybe if Noah tosses your laptop in the pool and smashes the desktops with a hammer...heeheehee...
