Hey, Greta, what moving company is handling your move? I used to handle International household/military moves for United. Just reading your post brought back all the memories!! The air shipment, sea shipment and storage portion. Any idea what size container you'll have? I never had a shipment going to Italy so I'm not sure what the transit time for that is. I think the last one I did was to Greece.
It's a daunting task to try and determine what you'll take and what you'll store. I mean, who knows what they'll need for the next three years?? I remember one lady telling me that it was like Christmas once they got their things out of storage. Some of the items she forgot she had so they were like new to her again.
I'll be thinking of you next Tuesday!!
