The Long Goodbye!

We decided to move to Belgium after a "look see" visit in April 2006 and began our moving process shortly afterwards. It seemed that we said goodbye forever since we didn't actually arrive in Belgium until August 10, 2006. But that seems to be the way of foreign moves with their endless paperwork, immigration, renting of houses, clearing out clutter and finally moving the mound of what is left of the possessions.

So we had goodbye parties until we couldn't say another goodbye or shed another goodbye tear.


Then came moving day. Four strapping young men came to carry all our possesions down two flights of stairs for two wholes days (I guess we didn't get rid of that much stuff). Ginger oversaw the entire operation and carefully inspected the truck after packing. After her final approval, tips were handed out to everyone!
