Knowing what I know now, I would sell the family heirlooms, unless your kids want it, which is doubtful. I would bring the things I treasure, and a toothbrush. Your winter clothes will never be worn, maybe keep a coat for going back to visit. My point is, you are probably paying way more than you need to for move a lot of stuff that 6 mos after the move you will wish you didn't bring.... buy a new mattress when you get here too.

I agree. I have never owned any furniture that was worth paying someone to move.
