Boxes ... Boxes ... Boxes Everywhere

July 16 2006

Made new progress on the move front late Friday and over the weekend.


First, the shipper finally "gets it" .... (a) boxes go by air from Angola to Indonesia, (b) LDN crates go by air from Angola to USA, and (c) 50% of storage is added to item (b) and they go by boat to Indonesia .... of course, I had to reduce 2 degrees of complexity to get to this point ... but, I'm still getting a 95% answer .... yeah, success on this.


Second, made great progress on item (a) above.  We loaded up 14 boxes of stuff, inventoried it, and got it ready to ship.  Even this "quick delivery" by air probably won't be available to us until October ... but I'm working on that.


Completed the inventory list and separated the items into all the different travel routes/classifications .... and then, totalled the valuations on "each page" just like the instructions said .... I think I now have 20 pages of stuff .....


Next major challenges:  (a) get money from the Expat Center that they owe me, (b) complete Customs forms .... never a dull momemnt
