So this time, the relocation isn't nearly as far or as restrictive. This time instead of a $ limit (including my car) I have lbs limit (and my car). So JAX will be going to Anchorage with me as will all of my stuff here, and possibly the stuff that I left at M/D's in a closet.
BUT, turns out this is considered enough of a corporate move that i'm not supposed to pack anything. They are going to fly a mover or 2 into town and they'll pack everything up. Then it turns out that instead of barging it back down to Anchorage, it's going to go in a plane via air freight. It's more expensive up front but they said they end up paying more in loss/damage claims when it goes by barge. I'm good with my stuff arriving in one piece so I'm all for it.
So my plan is to clean/purge of things that need to go, but also to organize all my paperwork and scan it to a digital format so I can then shred it and no worry about having to cart around paperwork I probably don't really need to begin with (wish me luck, not an easy task). I'm working on the cleaning part of things now. I need to take pictures of everything so they can estimate shipping costs.
I'm working on finding an apartment or possibly a roommate. Still weighing pros and cons. If anybody has friends in Anchorage who are looking for roommates, feel free to let me know.
I can't wait to start exploring more of Alaska. Maybe even learn to snowboard next winter :))).
