• Time your departure. Make sure you will be able to stop and rest when needed at convenient times and places. You want to be able to get to your new house while there is still light outside for ease of unloading. Again, if you’re going to need one, book your hotel before you’re on the road! If you decide to do the move with a rental truck, make a specific time table. Include all the things that you will be doing in preparation for your move. If you will be proceeding without professional help, you may even want to ask for advice from people you know. Their moving experience will provide you with tips on what to avoid and areas of preparation you may have overlooked. Whether you make your big move with professional help, family and friends, or by yourself, preparation and organization are key. You may ask for all the help you can get and hire the best movers, but without your personal involvement in planning and organizing, you will not be able to keep track of everything that needs to be monitored and prepared. • • •
