Suggestions for me to keep in mind for future moves:
1.Drink more energy drinks during moving time.
2. Get rid of more stuff prior to moving
3. Make it a game for the kids to play to help pack and unpack
4. Pack all bedding in one box and make it first one to be delivered
5. Make silverware easily found
6. Make the TVs and all parts to hook it up accessible, request cable right away
7. Don't unpack the garage into the living room
8. Don't step on thinks that might break while putting in the moving truck.
9. Make sure home has adequate phone coverage inside the home.
10. Research cost of living for area. Places that thrive on tourist for a large portion of their income can be great and have many great benefits however, the cost of living is outrageous but at least in this type of place we will never bored. There is always something to do.
11. Last, living in an area that is travel by many and often I have quickly picked up on the typical tourist behavior and mannerisms. Tourists unintentionally are very annoying to locals. They get lost. They stop with their car only halfway pulled over and ask for directions or look down at a a map or navigation system instead of the road. While walking if they bump into someone and a local says something they keep walking with failure to notice other people's existence. They are on a mission to find their destination and to stray from their hour by hour plan of event, and must stay on task. They attempt swimming in the ocean when its 60 degrees out. They ignore dangerous conditions and are told not to swim and then they have to be drug out of the water by life guards. Perhaps they would even swim if they knew there was a shark in the water! Last, they cause huge traffic delays for miles that make a small drive to the beach take 2-3 hours because everyone thought that it was a great idea beach on the same day too, Swell!
