My stuff on a wooden skid getting ready to be shipped to St. Kitts!
Well - it is official... I'm down to less then a week before the big move. Today, my father and I took my stuff - 8 large boxes - to Tropical Shipping in Kearny, New Jersey. My 8 boxes were put on a 4 foot by 4 foot wooden skid, and then shrink wrapped with the largest roll of plastic wrap I've seen! The journey for my packages is a two week journey. They will leave any day for the Port of Palm Beach, in Florida. From there they will set sail to St. Kitts. They will arrive on August 5th. This morning was a unique experience. Before parting with my "stuff" I was able to take a picture it as it was loaded onto a fork lift.
As my time gets closer - I've been trying to spend as much time with family and friends as possible. People have been booking me for breakfast, lunch and dinner plans. It is nice to spend time with everyone before I leave.
I have to apologize for the delay in posting, I've been so busy packing my house for shipment and storage. It has been a hard, long process. It seemed never ending at some points. It is amazing how much stuff you can pile up in 30 years. So I've decided that less is more and I've really simplified what I have in terms of material items. The important things are those that remind you of the people in your life - so the most important things for me are pictures! I've packed lots of them!!
Once I arrive in St. Kitts I will be sure to post a picture of my new home, and of my wonderful friends Dominic & Mary Stevens with whom I'll be living. Dominic has been a friend of mine for about 13 years, I've often thought of him as the brother I never had, and he married a wonderful woman Mary - who is one of the kindest people I know. I'm excited to stay with them - so that they can help me settle in to my new life in St. Kitts.
I hope you are all enjoying your summer so far. Please keep reading - I'll have more to share soon!
