Storage Plans

You know what you get when you have a couple of future fulltimers emotionally disconnected from their work? Plans that start moving!

This weekend we've formulated our plan for storing the stuff we can't part with. There won't be too much: china, crystal, a few books, some artwork and - of course - the mixer and my notions. Our plan is to arrange for a PODS container to be delivered at our house and moved to a family member's house in Kansas City. Once it gets there, we'll fly to KC, transport our goods to a small self-storage unit, visit awhile and fly back to get our house sold and have our "escape sale".

With family in Kansas City, we plan to pass that way several times during our fulltiming adventures. And, when it comes time to settle down, we're planning on finding a stick house in or around the Kansas City area. Plus, self-storage there is a fraction of what it costs in the Bay Area. Family members have offered to store stuff at their houses, but it's a small price to pay and just feels cleaner this way.

While talking to the good folks at PODS, they let us know it'll take 8 business days to get our stuff from here to there. And, of course, they were eager to schedule our pickup date. We said we'd think about it. And, we did.

Right now, we're looking at having our empty POD delivered here on January 30th and sending it on its way February 2nd. We'll meet it in Kansas City for President's Day weekend.

We haven't made a reservation just yet. But, just having those dates penciled in on our calendar takes us one very exciting step closer to our fulltiming dream!
