Today is the day the movers crated up all of our wrapped up items for shipment across the pond. The standard has been pretty impressive to me in terms of how well they pack everything and then also place it all into giant crates for protection. Im not too worried about items being too busted up thanks to all this, but that protection doesn’t really do anything if it falls off the boat and floats to the bottom of the Atlantic. Luckily we remembered to take a lot of pictures of our items before pack up.
Anyways everything was going great and we crated up 3 big crates quickly before lunch. Subway again…. these guys are boring. I offered to pick up anything and even mentioned a few winners ( South Beach fish tacos, Pizza Port, Poma’s).
Next we were onto our storage unit…. and this is where everyone got grumpy. I kept telling these guys we have a storage unit with basically half of our old house in it… But they were flying high and dreaming of East County Steel Reserve fun right after moving this beach bum is done. .. That is until I opened the storage unit door. Whooopsssss. Literally records screeching to a halt when they saw all the stuff stacked high.
Here is a peek at what they saw:
Long story short we ended up barely making into the trucks max of 6 crates… the East Countuky boys bet me they would have us in 4 crates easy. I hope we have a big place in Sicily!

And you might be wondering (probably not) … Nick .. if you moved everything out of your place how are you going to live in your place the next couple weeks? Enter the magic that is air mattress. We are essentially camping in our place until fly time 6/16/11. I caught the lovely Jessica pulling out the air mattress from its secret lair of our closet:
Did you take your dog with you?
Hi Nona,
Fortunately we do not have a dog. Biscuit was our landlords dog. I say fortunately because Im guessing it would be a tough flight out to Sicily for a dog. Although there are quite a few people out here who made the journey with their dogs.
