We are now literally counting down the hours until we leave for Shanghai. This past week has been incredibly busy for all of us. We've spent most of this week tying up loose ends and making sure everything is in order. Address changes, mail forwarding, garage sales, selling cars, and saying goodbye to friends and family have kept us hopping.
The movers showed up Thursday morning and moved the remainder of our furniture into permanent storage. They also packed up our air shipment that will be shipped over once we are settled in our apartment. We are allowed 500 lbs. each (2000 lbs. total) and somehow we came up with over 1800 lbs. I have no idea how we ended up with so much stuff. For some crazy reason, our stuff can't even leave the US until we have our residency papers in China. This process takes 3-4 weeks so we will be carrying over a lot of stuff with us on the plane.
Since we don't have any furniture or dishes - or a home - we are spending our last few days here in a bed & breakfast on Main St. in Madison. We are staying at the Hendricks-Beall Home until we leave Monday. This place is really nice. Sam is a great host and a fantastic cook. I would recommend this place to anyone who might have visitors coming to town and needing somewhere to stay.
That's it for now. Check back in over the next few days. I'll try to keep things updated as we make our way to the East (we actually travel west to get there).
