Not I. In fact, I think I've only been on one road trip longer than a day's drive. - Beryllium Jun 30, 09:01
Back in the day...but those were company paid moves. Stand back and let the movers pack, load, and gone. -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 08:49
I think it's wonderful you're relocating to Mexico City with your company. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 08:46
I think you'll be very happy in Tulsa. -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 08:41 2
- I was thinking more Tornoto. - Spawn Jun 30, 08:42 1
  - How many days do you think it takes to drive from DC area to Toronto?! -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 09:04
Both times I've done this (Florida --> Chicago and Chicago --> New York) I rented an SUV/minivan and just moved what I could fit - ty97 Jun 30, 08:38 8
- How'd you deal with the old furniture? -- nm - Max Jun 30, 08:39 7
  - Craigslist - ty97 Jun 30, 08:40 6

      - babe. my brain. But I started taking your advice last night! -- nm - Max Jun 30, 09:17
      - Maybe he thought her cat was typing the message -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 09:00 1
        
        chubbers would never lead anyone astray! (oliver though....) -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 30, 09:03
      - she's not very reliable, you know -- nm - decline Jun 30, 08:48
my longest was 6 hrs (many years ago), but I suggest looking into those moving pods -- nm - decline Jun 30, 08:35 1

Max Hotel, on the road!!! -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 08:34
you're moving?? -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:33 12
- Not finalized, but I'm looking at a target date 8 eeeks away based in a phone call yesterday. -- nm - Max Jun 30, 08:36 11

    - the question is always "will this be worth your while?" I think for single people, the answer is usally no. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 30, 08:46 3
      - That's true. And there's a lot of other stuff to do in those weeks. A reddit classified for one's area is probably better than craigslist though. -- nm - Qale Jun 30, 08:51
      - i won't do them anymore. furniture=craigslist. Other stuff=donate. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:48 1

  - I'm mulling the idea of being a remote landlord for six months and selling in the summer after reno - Max Jun 30, 08:38 1
    - your best selling time would be to list in spring, actually. so be a landlord for nine months? I don't love this. -- (edited) - amanda jones state university Jun 30, 08:44
  - to where? selling your condo? tell us details. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:36
