Big City Life has been Fun, but it's Time to Go

I would love to say that I am leaving town with just a few suitcases, but that is impossible.  I need my furniture.  It is not like the olden days anymore, when people moved they left the furniture and just loaded everything into trunks and strapped it to the top of the wooden panel vehicle and hit the road.

In today's world, I need to decide between a do it yourself move, a U-Haul move or a move done by professional movers.  There are certainly pros and cons to each option, and moving in December/January just adds another concern to the list.  The weather, what will it do?  Will it delay my move?  Will it shut down the move on the planned date?  That is the nice thing about being the weather, it can do whatever it wants.

Once the move is complete, I will be settled back in the area where I grew up.  I imagine I will experience a bit of culture shock.  I will probably walk a lot more than I do in the city, which is a good thing.  I will have to get used to people stopping by unexpectedly, and traffic nightmares may well involve 6 cars waiting at a stop light.  I am looking forward to all of these things, I will be sharing more about the experience as things progress.

First step:  finding a place to live.
