Good luck with your move.

I second that.
We pared down what we had to what we thought was the bare minimum before our move (mainly boxes and sundries as the house we purchased was turnkey), only to find that we had nowhere near the storage space that we needed to comfortably store our belongings when we got here. One of the reasons was the difference in homes: up north basements are common, and much of our stuff resided in our finished basement. Haven't seen many basements in Florida, and those huge walk-in closets get pretty small when boxes take up 2/3 of the space.
