Plan to Move?

I remember when my husband broke the news, he accepted a job offer in the East coast. I was surprised even though I knew that he interviewed for it. It didn't really dawned on me that it could happen and it did. Our last month in California was a blur, there were a lot of things to take care of. I had to turn in my resignation letter, say goodbye to friends and relatives, sell the house and find interstate moving companies and car movers for our vehicles. Choosing moving companies is very important. You want a company that is reliable and who has reliable and honest workers. Relocation.com is a website where you can find help in all aspects of moving. From finding the right realtor, moving company, car movers, getting insurance or mortgage, finding contractors or even connecting your utilities. Having this website will help make your move less stressful. All you need to do is go to www.relocation.com and from there, you can do almost everything to help you have a smoother transition from your old place to your new one.

Our Move Cross Country


Eight years ago, we moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to the East Coast. It was a tough decision for me considering all of my relatives are in California. But my first priority is my family and it is a good career move for dh. It also meant that I had to sacrifice my career and be a SAHM. The hardest part of our move for me is the packing of our things. We had to pack the small knick-knacks and personal stuff that is valuable. Dh's new company paid for the movers and they brought two moving trucks and packed the big items like the furnitures and the like. Our two automobiles were loaded up in a car carrier for it's own cross-country trip which took a little under two weeks to reach the East coast. The three of us meanwhile took the plane for the five hour flight. So, was the move worth it? Yes it is. Of course, I miss the 'almost-perfect' California weather, my friends, co-workers and family. Oh, don't forget the Ethnic restaurants in every corner! We haven't been back for 6 years and I'm sure a lot has changed. I'm sure someday we will go visit and see everyone and everything. For the meantime, I'll just sit back and reminisce about the good ole times.
